When the Cat is Away…

Like last year, Megan was off to a work trip over a weekend, so the boys were again left to their own devices. While leaving on her birthday for a second year in a row, there was a little celebration during the chaotic morning routine. The chaos continued with a boys weekend in Williamsport, including…

A Yummy Birthday

Having just returned from Grand Cayman the night before, everyone was pretty wiped for Brian’s birthday. But, that didn’t stop us from eating well in between lounging at home and trying to rest up for the week ahead! We hit up all the standard “B” fare…

Glamour Shoot on Mother’s Day

The stars aligned and all Tucker family members were together, dressed well and in relatively good spirits for a photo shoot on Mother’s Day. Originally an idea conceived months before, it was a bit of a miracle to pull it off. Thanks to a talented photographer, we captured some quality family moments on film, made…

PSA for Parents – Watch that Manhole Cover

So, the very unexpected happened after an inspiring 5K walk in Baltimore to support ALS research. Colin – while chasing birds around a fountain at Power Plant Live – tripped and braced his fall on a manhole cover. He screamed out in pain, and it turns out he got second-degree burns on the palms of…

An Inspiring 3.1 Mile Walk

We had an amazing day at the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research’s Fiesta 5K last year, and we were determined to step up our game (maybe not from a race time perspective, more from a fundraising one). Team Big Walt & Mike truly represented, convening about 40 family members and friends all touched by…

A Hoppin’ Easter

Easter was a super action-packed day, and we were blessed with excellent weather! That meant tons of time outside, including an egg hunt with more than 100 candy-filled orbs for only six kids, two of which don’t yet eat candy. There was even a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, who hopped in and out…

Double Trouble

Having a cousin three months older means a lot of toddler hijinks when they get together. Here are some moments captured from a weekend up in Williamsport (oh, really to celebrate Kassie’s birthday)…

It’s A Jungle Out There!

A highlight of our trip to Florida was the Sarasota Jungle Gardens. It was more gardens than jungle, but still a lot of fun. The highlight by far was the flamingos, where we got up close and personal. Here’s what we encountered inside…

Venice Here in the USA

With temperatures consistently in the 30s or colder, C had had enough. So, with a little prayer beforehand, I headed alone with him down to Venice, Florida to visit family spending the week.
