We were several years into marriage when we started this blog, but we’ve celebrated a few anniversaries with posts – including our fifth and our tenth. For our 15th, we had to celebrate with the kids in tow, but we made the most of it with a night out in DC followed by a weekend…
Virtual School is Out!
After a full year of virtual school, Colin made it to the other side! He had amazing academic progress, and was resilient and adaptable to thrive socially, too.

Out and About Birthday
This year’s birthday was thankfully not under a strict quarantine, so the Tucker family was out and about a bit – enjoying some brunch and dinner outdoors in between an action-packed little league game (in sweltering 90+-degree heat).

A Simple Life with the Amish
During a very cold, rainy Memorial Day weekend, we ventured north for a visit with the Amish in Lancaster County, PA. We learned a lot during our short visit, and even saw some Amish families out and about!

A Bit of Baseball

Mother’s Day 2021
Compared with last Mother’s Day, we were a lot more active this year, with not one, but two outdoor destinations on the schedule. First up was Il Forno with a mom/grandmother reunion after 15 months, and the second was some fine Italian dining in Arlington.
