a person in 36 photos in 2017 mom showing 2017 only · show all years Family Christmas photos! Then an afternoon visit with grandma. Christmas morning bike ride with my mom. ...I went for a bike ride with my mom. On Sunday afternoon... My mom Christmas 1974(?) Later that night my mom and I went to visit grandma for dinner! Got up early to head to the airport with Brett. Mom came out to see us off. Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was). ...my dad's best friend Roger and his wife Bonnie for dinner. Roger is British and my dad's version of Grant. It was really sweet to watch them hang out and interact. (Sadly, Roger passed away just a few months after my dad in late 2018.) This ornament is really cute. Love looking back at old photos. (Who would've guessed that about me, right?) That evening Brett and I helped our Mom setup and decorate the Christmas Tree. Compared to this flashback pic from the late 90s! Visited with Grandma in the afternoon. Happy Thanksgiving from the Battjers! <3 My dad had been undergoing chemo and was bald! But he was in relatively good spirts and it was great to see him out of the hospital. It was an emotional farewell. My dad was discharged from the hospital after a scary two weeks. Nice to have him back home! Love these pics of Grandma and her 4 daughters! Clockwise from upper-left: Barbara, Elaine, Stephanie (my mom) and Sue. Set up to hang with my dad. ...my parent's video conferencing with newly arrived baby Sam back in DC. Cute moment catching... <3 If you're going to spend a lot of time in the hospital, might as well have a nice ocean view. ...and was relieved to see my family there hanging out.... Happy Mother's Day, mom! You really do crack me up! I made my mom a photo collage tribute for Mother's Day and had to screenshot it and text it to her because she doesn't use the apps. Got a Valentine's Day card in the mail! (It's from MY MOM, OKAY?) Other notable mugs in my parents cabinet include this one of my grandma and her four daughters! So good. He was really happy she flew down from NJ for his party! Later that afternoon, after I'd hosed all the lizard blood off the patio, some of my parent's friends came over early to pregame before my dad's big birthday party! Maddy loves my mom. lol Headed to dinner with my mom on the waterfront.
