It reminded me of the last time he wore a tux - when he was the ring bearer in my brother's wedding.
Sigh.
Little boys grow up.
And their mothers' hearts ache with both sadness and pride.

Gulp .. goodness, look at the change!
No one tells you you have to be brave and courageous to be a parent. My is a fine young man!
Your cute little man definitely grew up! yikes!
It has certainly grow up from a cute little boy to a handsome young man.
Fantastic to see that change, scary and awesome too. I hope he enjoys his prom :)
I can so relate to your "story" now that My Boy has grown and left the coop. Sigh. They group up so fast.
He looks so smart in both photos and I love the idea of a Good Pirate costume
Fun to see both - good pirate and 'bad' looking dude... which as 'bad' now means 'good' works.
My pirate loving small boy is about to turn 20 whilst my Princess (seen at about the age of your second photo in my SS post) is considering the prom next Friday.
He definately is all grown up....and looking so smart.
I love the fact he called the first one his 'good pirate' costume. Such imagination. And how proud you must be to see him all grown up as a young man in a tux.
He's such a handsome boy/man and was so cute when he was little ,too.
From a darling little boy to a fine, handsome young man..just like that. Gulp. Although I guess we could also say - how many wonderful stories there have been in between too :) (at least that's what I keep telling myself)
What a handsome young man ~ you have every right to be proud.
Rinda, your young man was adorable in a tux then and even more so now. What a handsome young guy!
What a handsome chap! How fantastic to have the 2 photos to compare. There's nothing pirate-like about his current tux!
Such a handsome boy! That brings back memories of when My boys were leaving school and joining the army - lovely story, thank you for sharing
Oh goodness! What a change, but still so handsome! Hope he has a wonderful time at the prom.
Your boy was such a cute 'good pirate' and has grown into a handsome young man. You must be so proud :o)
from 'cute' to 'handsome' in the blink of an eye!..how does it all go so quickly?

Love how you've told this, Rinda :) He looks so cute in the 'young' pic - and so grown-up and handsome in the recent one!
I was just about to write something similar to Allison about how he was so cute and now is so handsome! Wow what a great comparison
Hi Maria,
Wow, he still wears a tuxedo with a lot of class… Nice story to share. Time flies by incredibly fast, but we still have thousands of stories to share in our hearts...
Have a nice Sunday,
Cheers from France
Rinda, looking at the first picture I thought "he is so handsome", looking at the 2nd I thought "how could he not be? he was a beautiful child!" I know so well that sadness and pride.
He looks so handsome and makes that tux look good. How the years pass so quickly. Hope he had a good time at prom.
Just a couple of photographs but oh, what a story. From boyhood to manhood, your heart must be full of pride.
Henry looks handsome in a tux - whatever his age.
And he is incredibly handsome in both photos!
This is such a great idea!! I love this!
He is such a cutie, what a man he has grown into.
This would make a great comparison layout. Time certainly passes quickly, and I cannot imagine what that is like being a parent.
Aren't you glad you wrote down his comments before! It is amazing how much would be forgotten if we didn't take the time to write it down. And he is such a handsome fella too :-)
Aw, brilliant comparison of photos. He looks so cute in the tux when he was little, and I love the idea that a tux is a 'good pirate' costume! x
He has grown into a very handsome young man.
Oh how CUTE! He was adorable as a little boy, and has grown into a handsome young man!
What beautiful photos, how proud you must be. Your son has certainly grown into a fine young man.
Yes, they do grow up so fast. I love seeing comparison over time, thanks for sharing.
i love looking at the two pictures and knowing that they are of the same guy! wow. you have just proven the power of the photographer, the beauty of being able to define a concept in through the only means possible. keep snapping away, rinda!
Beautiful pictures Rinda. Love the good pirate comment. :)
I reckon he's now a *great* pirate - he's certainly going to steal some hearts on his travels!
He certainly has grown, I love the pirate reference :)
