Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteA mega mega collage- the likes I've never seen before.
Congratulations to you and your son. Reaching 18 is a significant accomplishments. My two sons changed from teenagers to real people shortly thereafter.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very memorable collage. You may want to save this for his wedding some day. When my son got married a few months ago, his bride's sister and her husband put together a slide show of the parallel childhood photos of the two of them. It was made all the more touching by the fact that my son is an American and his wife and her family are Argentine, but childhood was so similar n both cultures.
Legal at last :) Well done to both parents in seeing the lad through the tough years and safely into adulthood.
ReplyDeleteMaking an album is a brilliant idea. One he will cherish for years to come.
Beautiful collage Sally, congratulations Ben!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ben, what a wonderful collage of you at all ages !
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best in your new path in life - learning to be a chef, how lucky are your parents ! I hope they will get to be treated to some wonderful meals !
