    Oh Jen, I just love this post! My little nephew is so handsome, so adorable, especially in his Tiger Cub uniform and he loves Cheesecake Factory just like his “aunt” and his Mom!!! Seeing you as Mary Delgado in LaJolla, who knew you’d be playing Mom a short time later! Wow, life is amazing and so full of wonderful surprises. Congratualtions to you three and your families as you celebrate the first year of Motherhood, Fatherhood and your own little family!! Love you guys so much! Wanda

    Wow, did that year fly by or what!?
    Yes, motherhood is a wonderfully challenging acting role. Calls upon everything you’ve ever learned in life. Enriching and powerful. Harrison looks fabulous! Congrats on everything.

    Hi Jen!
    You’re celebrating one year as a family with Harrison and Tim and I’m dealing with empty nest syndrome! Both Eric & Allie are in college now! All I can say is, it sure is QUIET! The years DO fly by!!
    Congrats and love,

    Very touching…”Mom & Dad”!
    It is so hard to believe that it has been one year already…seems like just yesterday.

    Hope you guys “shared” the Banana Cream Cheesecake that we “shared” last year, Jen. (Translation: my “share” was 99%, and yours was a sliver that one needed a magnifying glass to see.)

    All kidding aside, Jen, congratulations on a wonderful year, and I’m delighted to have had the great privilege of meeting Harrison. He’s growing into a fine young man.

    How is Harrison doing in karate? When will you post the YouTube of his breaking those six plywood boards in half?? (And when you do post, please include his deafening Chuck Norris scream!!!)

    Congratulations to all of you – what a wonderful milestone to observe!

    (I have it on good authority that Howard Tucker achieved his yellow belt at the age of 13 and hasn’t looked back, so maybe Harrison can show him a thing or three next time they have to do battle over the last sliver of cheesecake!)

    Congratulations!! What a great post, Harrison loves costumes and uniforms and the camera! Hmmmm….What will he be, when he grows up! I won’t say it, but you never know : )) LOL!

    Glad you and Tim are ENJOYING the whole Mom & Dad, thing!
    Have fun : )

    Wow “Mom!”

    Has it really been a year. . .it seems much longer than that, like forever. Harrison was born in your hearts, yours and Tim’s. Parenthood suits you both to a “T.” Harrison knows if not now, in the future, he is quite blessed to have you as his parents. From the looks on his face in the pictures, he is loved and he is having fun with you two! He is the one having all the fun! From the looks on all three of you, you all are so much in love with each other. May God continue to bless you all. . . .

    Blessed Be!
    Tina xo
