Wednesday, we feature mom, Tina Phan, and her son, Jeffrey Suzuki, 12, a student at Raymond J. Fisher Middle School, and Campbell residents, Laura and 5-year-old Max Reese. Jeffrey said he will study and then have fun locally. His mother said the family will stay in town for the break, because an older son has volleyball practice.

And Max? After a heavy episode of laughter, he finally told us what he was doing with a two-word answer—"doing babies." Mom clarified that the family would be staying home, "talking about babies" over the break.
