Hooray for Leap Day!!! Sydney Finally gets a "Real" Birthday! Happy 8th Birthday Syd!

As everyone knows leap year is very exciting in the Tucker household because Sydney has an actual birthday. I'm sure she will be so happy that I posted this early morning picture of her with her lovely bedhead, but we all wanted to get an early satrt on the day given that it only comes once every 4 years. She opened a few presents and went off to school very excited for her sleepover party tonight. Happy Leap Day Everyone!

Happy Mardi Gras Everyone !!!

Mardi Gras is huge here in Mobile!! There have been parades every day for the last 5 days and they throw beads and moon pies and stuffed animals and cups (those can really hurt if you take one to the head) to the crowd as the floats go by. We haven't actually ventured over to downtown Mobile because it's a little too crazy over there, but the kids have had a great time and we all have lots of Mardi Gras loot!
