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…

A Happy 4th!
Colin’s first 4th of July was quite the adventure, starting off early with his seventh flight. While he didn’t stay up for fireworks, there was plenty more fun to be had – in the pool, playing with friends, and getting spoiled by Nonna and Papa. It was so great that Colin got to see Papa…
Father’s Day – Play Ball!
It’s not very often the stars align, but they certainly did this Father’s Day. The Orioles played the Red Sox in Camden Yards, and it was a beautiful day at the park. As with Mother’s Day, C slept very well and was great the whole day (well, until time for bed when the excitement of…
A Jamaican Birthday Sendoff
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! First up was an Easter party at his great grandfather’s apartment complex, complete with egg dying, egg hunt, treats and an appearance…
Merry Christmas to All!
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!
