B turned 29 again (several times over) on the day we sadly had to leave Jamaica. It was such a wonderful trip, that hopefully those good feelings would have lasted enough for a day’s travel back home. With a peaceful morning beach-side and in our beautiful villa, the day started strong. Colin was a perfect…

Mother’s Day – On the Road
Mother’s Day weekend was quite different than last year’s, with a 20-pound baby in tow to make it one to remember. It was an action-packed day, starting with the usual 7 a.m. “go time” in Connecticut, continuing on with a family brunch with the whole gang and then leading to a plane ride back to…
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…
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!

Colin wants to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Check out his holiday photo shoot – his present to you (yes, he’s a little vain…just like his dad!) – plus time with Santa!
Thanksgiving Fun!
Thanksgiving was a welcome holiday – our first in the US in three years! It was obviously special being Colin’s first and celebrating amongst family in MD. Colin was very disciplined and didn’t load up on turkey, trimmings and wine like his parents. Maybe next year… Regardless, we had much to be thankful for!
A Perfect 4.0
Ok I admit it – I just celebrated my 40th birthday. Yes, 40. And while the prospect of doing so didn’t exactly sit well with me, my beautiful wife made sure it was celebrated in style. The “Weekend of Brian” kicked off with a check-in to the newly opened Park Hyatt Resort on Saadiyat Island,…
How the world’s tallest building does fireworks
Go big or go home. That’s the UAE’s motto. You can see photo and video examples here with the Burj Khalifa’s fireworks display for New Years. Happy 2012! A live action shot is just a click away!
A Maryland Christmas!
Family and food – those are the terms which best describe the second half of our U.S. tour. Heading south to Williamsport, Maryland, we kicked off our “second Christmas” with a visit to Uncle Dave’s Pizza Hut, where met up with extended family, including some who were in town from Florida. Given how short our…
