This is the family website of Jason and Tina Coleman.
This is where we try to give our friends and family a glimpse of what goes on in our home. The stories and photos posted here are some of our favorite encounters with parenting and childing. (And sometimes we make up new words!)
This week Cora finished her last day of 3YO preschool. The teachers had a little commencement ceremony for the children with diplomas and all. This was the first commencement I’d ever attended where the graduates sang “I’m a Little Teapot” before they got their certificates and, let me tell you, those little scholars knew that song backwards and forwards! Great work, class of ‘06.
We’re back from Jamaica and our bathing suits are drying in anticipation of whatever much-less-exciting swimming we may yet have ahead of us later in the summer.
Jamaica made for a wonderful vacation: our girls got their first airplane ride; the weather was beautiful; the Jamaicans were kind.

We’re beginning a Spring/Summer of travel and adventure with a trip to the Beaches Negril Resort in Jamaica. This is our family’s first big vacation since having kids so we’re very excited and a little nervous about it.
We live on the approach path for BWI Airport so the girls see dozens of airplanes an hour, but this will be their first time inside one. I’m sure the girls will love the ride but mommy and daddy aren’t so sure about the patience that may be required of us.
So, back soon. Please carry on.
Tina takes a Rufus kiss on the ear. Daddy and Cora do the yucky dog-germs dance when we get a puppy kiss on the face. Mommy and Callie claim to like these kisses, but the look on Tee’s face here tells a different story.
Cora saying letters out loud as she wrote her name:
C, O, candycane, balloon with a string
(Picture the lowercase letters as a child might draw them)
I have a lot of dragons in my family.
I understand, but I still don’t get it.
Mommy and me are going to have a baby!
How Cora is breaking our family’s big news.
That’s hard to say. It’s a twister-tonguer.
I’ve got grey hair. Not a lot. They’re like the advance team for middle age.
