Tuck's 10 Months Old :)

A SPECIAL NOTE....TO MY HUSBAND

Justin, My Love, Baby, Daddy, Our Boy, Justino, Reuben.... you are known to many who love you as one of these names.  We are all so happy your surgery went so well and words cannot describe how grateful we are that you are A-OK.  We love you so much.

Happy Monthday Tuck - you are such a cute baby boy!

The commercial Tuck, Stella and I were in - for my Dad's biz...I've had quite a few people around town ask me "ARE YOU IN A COMMERCIAL BECAUSE I SWORE IT WAS YOU AND YOUR KIDS???!"  

We filmed it in October and it's running now.
