Not since Colin was in utero had we been to Hartland Orchard, but the visit was worth the wait! We had our pick of apples, some cider doughnuts, a tractor ride and lots of treats to make afterwards!
Fall Sports!
Back to school and back to weekends and weeknights of sports! Colin is keeping busy with baseball and flag football, while Owen is running around the soccer field with his classmates. Here are some early adventures this season…
Back to (The Same) School
It’s back-to-school time, and for the first time since summer 2018, the boys are in the same place! O started with a brand new teacher to Glebe and new friends-to-be, while Colin is an old pro. Here’s to a good school year!

Up Island
With friends in tow, we saw some of the best parts of Up Island on the Vineyard, including Aquinnah for some views and lighthouse climbing, and Menemsha Hills for a 3-mile hike to the beach and back. Needless to say, we wore the kids out after a couple of days!
Back to The Vineyard
It had been four years, but we finally returned to Martha’s Vineyard to enjoy some tried and tested spots for a summer vacation. And this time, we had friends to share the experience. But first, we had an action-packed 24 hours that included some favorite destinations and a rare trip to the agricultural fair.
End of Daycare
What began in early 2013 has now come to an end – daycare for the Tucker family. From his first days with big bro at Bright Horizons, to Ballston Children’s Center and then Vinci at the start of the pandemic, Owen has experienced a lot prior to elementary school. He’s excited to join his brother,…
