I Have a Son: 21 years old!

The night our son was born, I lay in bed marvelling: I have a son!

That son turned 21 this week. Where has the time gone?!

In honour of the occasion, here are 21 of my favourite photos from the last 21 years …

  1. Yep, the years fly. Congratulations to your 21 year old, and to you, who brought him into the world all those years ago! My baby boy will be 10 in July.
