Cinco de Mayo weekend was about more than margaritas this year. It was time for the Fiesta 5K, a walk (or run if you were so inclined) to benefit the Johns Hopkins Robert Packard Center for ALS Research. It was a beautiful, crisp day to take in some of Baltimore’s most popular neighborhoods, all while…
Home Away from Home
A far cry from the resorts of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the Hampton Inn Salisbury was our home away from home while we visited Pork in the Park. It happened to be Colin’s first hotel room stay – one of many we hope! We spent only a little time in the room, but C settled…
Pork in the Park!
Though Colin’s experience with solid foods is a mere few weeks old, we needed expose him to BBQ early, since it’ll soon be a go-to food of choice. What better introduction than Pork in the Park, the largest Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned (apparently this is a big deal) competition on the East Coast. While we…
Learning to Love Food
Colin’s been downing bottles like it’s his job (well, we guess that is part of it) and staring at our food when we eat in front of him, so it was time to introduce solid foods. Just like his first bath, it started out okay, but then ended in disaster with all-out crying and real…
Easter is Nice Twice!
The actual Easter holiday was spent in Western Maryland with the Tucker side. The extended family was around, some of whom hadn’t yet met Mr. C. We left a note at home, so the Easter Bunny knew where to find him. And, as expected, an Easter basket appeared the next morning! While mom and dad…
Springtime in CT
What’s springtime in CT like? For at least this year, it’s freezing! Our spring trip definitely felt more like winter, so we stayed warm in the comfort of homes and restaurants. Maybe come May, we’ll be able to lose the jackets! Here are some shots of our weekend sojourn…
An Encounter with a Large Rabbit
With spring, comes Easter. And knowing the family fun time and sweet treats that come with the holiday, Colin was all about maxing out his Easter opportunities with not one, but two celebrations! First up was an Easter party at his great grandfather’s apartment complex, complete with egg dying, egg hunt, treats and an appearance…
Up, Up and Away!
It was only a matter of time. You knew it was coming. Yep, it was Colin’s first flight! We started off easy with a 45-minute jump up to Connecticut…building our way up to international adventures. Colin behaved very well, being relatively easy since he is not mobile and uses a pacifier to calm down with…
Double the Fun (Almost)!
So, Colin hit five months last week. Normally, babies double their weight by month five. But since our little porker came out super-sized, he’s trending a bit under that mark – thankfully for our arms and backs! Happy five months, C! Here’s a one-to-five month comparison just for fun…
