Thanksgiving

We're Back Home!

We got back yesterday from Thanksgiving in Cincinnati.

It was great to spend time with Joe's sister Andi and her family.  And we got to meet our newest niece, Kaityln!


Kylar and baby Kaitlyn!


Uncle Joe and the girls :)


Cute Kylar


Joe and the baby- sooo sweet :)






Yes, I let Kylar use my camera.  Kind of scary, but she loved it.


Me and the baby :)


I like this one Joe took :)


We went to the Air Force Musem- got to see all the retired Air Force One's


Joe was in HEAVEN.  This is the "Sacred Cow."  So cool!

Battles Family Reunion!


This past week I've been all around, but mostly in Michigan at Joe's family reunion.  It was actually a lot of fun!

Here are a few photos...

The cabins we stayed in

Joe at sunset :)

Joe at the winery... oh man, that place was fun!

the winery was beautiful!

Kylar!





Everyone!  I took this on a self-timer :)

Sara playing beer pong... yes, beer pong is played!

Sara and Liz... two of my new sisters :)

Kylar and Dan

cousins!


It got pretty hot, but I got some nice sun and I enjoyed meeting all my new relatives!  Our parents even had lunch together, which was really nice.  Thank goodness they get along :)

We decided to come home a day early, mostly because we wanted a day of vacation at home.  Thank God we did because Frankie was literally on his death bed.  He was gasping for air, his eyes were glassy, his nose was stuffed, and he was crying in pain.  Needless to say, I was very upset to come home to such a sick kitty!  We aren't too sure what's going on just yet, but last night when we got home I whisked him to the Emergency pet hospital and found out he had a temp of 108.  Sadly, he's still there :(  We have to bring him to our real vet tomorrow morning- we are hoping he is more stable- right now his temp is 103, which is still a fever but not 108!  Keep little Frankie in your thoughts- we love him!

Right now I'm just trying to catch up on e-mails (had 50 this morning, down to 6!), facebook, twitter, etsy, and all my rss feeds.  I also want to edit my latest wedding this week.  Also, my parents are coming this week for 4th of July-  so much going on!

Aaaaand, the Washington Post is going to send a reporter and photographer to follow me on a shoot this week- how exciting!!!  :)

Hello From Florida

Hello from Sunny Florida!

Joe and I are down here to get his car and drive it back up to Maryland for his new post in Frederick, and we decided to stay for a few days to visit his mom and dad.

We checked out St. Augustine yesterday and it's the cutest little town!
