Little Tree - Little Boy. Big Tree - Big Man.

Eighteen years ago a friend planted an Arizona Ash tree in the backyard to celebrate the arrival of Joshua Alan. I say tree, but it really looked more like a stick - maybe an inch and a half in diameter. Each year I have taken a picture of Josh in front of his tree. The first picture is of me holding newborn Josh and then a  picture of him next to or climbing his tree. It's fun to see how he has changed over the years.

 I wish I had the photo of him as a newborn to post here, but that would require time to look for it and my schedule didin't permit that this morning before work.

All I can say is time has certainly gone by very fast. How did Josh get to be all grown up?
