Weight Loss Challenge...

Over!

In other news, Kyle and Rob tied the Weight Loss Challenge (because they reached their goal weight on the same week and both kept it off for 5 months). Congratulations to Daddy! They are obviously proud of themselves!!

MLK in Hilton Head

I am my Daddy, part II

More from Christmas in St.Louis.

Jackson got to spend the week with his cousins, Herbie and Reagan (Brian and Betsy/Casey's dogs). He slept all the way home after a week of constant play.
We spent our last afternoon in St.Louis at the emergency room after Tucker took a header in to the Hogan's front stairs (cement!) He was so tough, but it was bloody and terrible. Instead of stitching it, they glued it. We'll see how the scar turns out!

Christmas Update...

I can't get these in order, so we'll start with Christmas morning! Tucker really loves trains and he got lots of trains! He was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of presents he was expected to open -- he just wanted to open and play with whatever he opened. We'll do it differently next year to keep him from ending up in tears!
He sat with his new Brio stuff for many hours! This is his very serious face.
The Holley's new puppy beagle, Yadi (named after the Cardinal great Yadier Molina). He and Tucker were quite a pair. First Tucker would chase Yadi and have Yadi all over the place. The Yadi would chase Tucker, nipping at his behind and Tucker would yell out between giggles "No, No, No, No..." swiping him away. It was priceless.

Christmas Eve brunch at Casey & Betsy's...
Tucker has become quite the male model. He stops for the camera and strikes a pose every time. Sometimes a smile, sometimes serious, sometimes a profile shot. We need to work on getting this kid's education paid for.

Below: The fam. Congrats to Casey and Betsy! They will be having a baby July 6th.
Waking up Christmas morning -- excited to go open presents!!!
