During the coldest day of the season (to date), we hit the tropics by visiting the US Botanical Gardens. It was Colin’s first time out and about near the Capitol. We took advantage of the last day of the gardens’ seasonal holiday displays, which included a giant rain set. It was a nice respite from…

A Christmassy New Year
C spent the last day of 2013 in daycare and celebrating on New Years with his final Christmas gift from Santa (who promised to leave him a little something for when he got home from CT). All in all, a great cap to a crazy year, with the promise of more crazy, fun chaos in…
Winding Down from the Holidays

Christmas #1 in 2K13
Another year, another slew of Christmas celebrations! Up first this year was the Tucker gathering, when we celebrated an uncharacteristically warm lead up to the Christmas holiday. With six young boys, there was bound to be chaos, but – luckily – everyone came out unscathed!
Santa Mania
Last year we had the luxury of snapping a shot with Santa whenever we wanted, being on maternity leave/working from home. This year, not so much. We braved the mall with 100 other families and waited patiently (and eventually, not so patiently) for time with the big guy. When the time finally came – nearly…
Merry Christmas 2K13!
We wish everyone the happiest of holidays and new year!
