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!
Gobble, Gobble!
Thanksgiving is way more fun when you can eat everything being served. Given Colin was just over a month old during last year’s celebrations, he realized this for the first time. (Well, sort of, as he didn’t really eat much of anything…but, he could have.) After recovering from the stomach flu the weekend prior, C…
Chop Chop!
We knew it had to happen at some point. Colin’s crazy head of hair was getting a little unruly. So, we tamed the beast by taking C to his first haircut at the Bradlee Center in Alexandria. It felt like the longest 5 minutes of our lives, but we survived. There were good parts. There…
The Final BBQ Mecca, Conquered
We’ve enjoyed a BBQ destination or three in our days. Memphis? Check. North Carolina? Been there. Texas? Conquered. The final major BBQ town on our list? Kansas City, of course! While our trip centered on sweet, juicy meat, we also explored other key sights, including historic Union Station, the Crown Plaza (Hallmark HQ) and Boulevard…
Breaking the Rules
A recent trip to Kansas City (more about the details later) was like hitting the freedom trail for Colin. No rules! (Well, relatively little.) Check out his misadventures letting loose in the Midwest!
Halloween Out and About
Colin got more out of Halloween than last year, namely being awake for more than an hour or two in a row! Brian took full advantage, spending the prior weekend turning his parents’ garage into an animated haunted house. And, the family set out on Halloween day to spend a frightful night in the country…
A Week’s Worth of Halloween
Halloween with kids is quite the ordeal. There are neighborhood parties, trick-or-treating at work, costumes at school and then – of course – trick-or-treating on Halloween. Colin did it all and then some. He got more mileage out of his $12 costume than we could have ever imagined! Here’s how Halloween rolled out BEFORE the…
