Tom or Eli?

We are not New England or NY fans, but I always like to cheer for whoever has the cuter quarterback. In this case it is hard. Tom is definitely slightly better looking. But I'm partial to the Manning boys ALWAYS, so I'll be cheering for the Giants and cute little Eli. The Dunns sent this jersey from Boston in hopes of converting little Tuck... and he does seem to be channeling Tom Brady's male model ways in these photos.

Touchdown!

Sculpting

Special Delivery

Poor Jackson... Tucker is obsessed with him and he never gets a moments rest except when he is asleep.

Back in Action

Finally! A new camera! We'll just start from here with another

fantastic trip to Hilton Head with the Rhodes crew.

Mimi gave Tucker this Fun Roller for his birthday. The perfect thing for the beach on a windy day! Tucker DID NOT think so. His reaction was caught below.

"No! No! I don't yike this!"

He was traumatized for quite awhile. It is Thursday and he has finally stopped bringing it up and tell me how he doesn't want to take the roller on the beach again.

In case you forgot what he looks like, YES, he is still really cute. Yes, his hair is still nice and straight in the front and curly in the back! He and Livvy had a blast playing together - the giggled and chased each other around the house.

Tuck is doing his part to entertain Miller during Daddy & Kiddo breakfast Sunday morning.

merry christmas.

Sorry we are SO behind posting. We will attempt to back-log later, but for now...

Hope you had a blessed day. Last night, in the middle of the Children's service at church, Tucker asked [loudly] "When are we going to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus... and blow out the candles?" He gets it.

I love my Uncle Bri.

100th Anniversary Turkey Day Game

Those who know my love for Kirkwood know I couldn't resist... the good guys won 49-7.

Cia the Tiger

You may not have realized there was a much cuter tiger in the family for Halloween. Our precious niece, Cia, was a-dor-a-ble! We only wish they could have trick-or-treated together!

Baptism Today

His second petifore... Tucker, Mary Scott & Teddy

We were not members of our church when Tucker was a baby, so he finally got to be baptized today. He was VERY excited about "powing wataw on my head" and, as usual, he was all about being the star of the show!
"The Guys" as Tucker calls them. Davis, Michael & Luke - some of Kyle's small group guys who came to Tuck's baptism.
Ben, Jess & Olivia.

All the sweet kids

Too much candy

Tucker the Tiger, Will (Superman) and Teddy (the football player)
Tuck was a sweaty Tony the Tiger - so he unzipped and put his feet up for the rest of the wagon ride! Once he and Teddy had their first suckers, they were set for the night. It doesn't take much.

Grrr...

Flashback

October 16, 2006.
He looks exactly the same -
just smaller... and with less
'fro on his head.

We don't have any recent pictures, so
I thought I'd post something for our loyal fans. Ha! I don't even know who reads this.






We're on Day 16 (literally) of a double ear infection, so we have been laying REALLY low around here. Hopefully Antibiotic #3 is going to be the magic formula!

The sweetest thing

There has been nothing sweeter in my life than my son reaching out his hands to us at the table suggesting we "Pway, mama. Pway, Daddio."

Okay, Tuck. We will.

And again, at night, when he requires both of us in the room to "pway to Jesus." I couldn't possibly write how he pronounces Jesus, but it is cute.

Truly humbling.

Pirate's Cove

We played a highly competitive game of mini golf at Pirate's Cove on our last day there... Tucker was traumatized for the most part. We kept sending him in to hysterics everytime someone got a hole-in-one. There still is a chance, though, that he'll be the next Tiger.

Cape Cod Wedding Trip

My sister, Michele, got married to Rob Sept 15th on "The Cape" and we had an awesome trip! We had an amazing time complete with a wedding!, sightseeing, shopping (that somehow always accompanies sightseeing), time on the beach, a lobster/clam bake and a lot of time hanging out with family. Here are the pics... (unfortunately, in no particular order!)

Dancing with Auntie Terry!

We laughed all week that Tucker thought this party was all about him... here he is eating with the bride at the Rehearsal Dinner.
Lots of time hangin' at the "beets"
Rob & Michele greeting us for the weekend.

Wiped out on the plane ride home... the "aiwpwayne" was definitely the highlight of the trip for Tuck. He was beyond thrilled with getting to "wide up in the sky wid the cwouds." All week, in the middle of doing cool stuff, he'd ask "Are we going to the airport now?"
The Dunn's house that they so graciously shared with us all week.
One of MANY, MANY trips over the boardwalk to the beach.
You'll have to ask Kyle.

The tent came in handy when it rained on the day of the wedding :(
