I'm with you, Ali. And now that my oldest son is deciding which college to attend, I am so appreciative of the fact that I also loved photos + words...and that I had someone like you along the way to inspire me to create something with them. How COOL is that?!

He is getting tall. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do and for being a spiritual inspiration as a well as a creative motivator. The universe truly speaks through you.

Wow - is he, like, 18 yet? Seems just like yesterday that he was a little boy - now he's a young man!

That is a GREAT picture of Simon! When did he grow up? Over night?

Wow - love it Ali. It is amazing our fast they grow!!

As much as i look forward to your uploads of scrapbooking and creative ideas, i look forward too to photos of Simon and seeing how he is growing...this picture just speaks forth of his cuteness and adorable-ness! thanks for sharing, Ali!

what a wonderful photo capturing his character!
I love knowing there are moms like you out there.

DOn't know the story behind this picture, but I'm sure it's great! Just the photo makes me smile!

Have a happy day!

simon looks so tall in this picture. I love the fact that he will wear that mask anywhere. How cute!

I've been reading Creating Keepsakes for over 2 years, and always love to learn new things, love your column.

He is getting SO tall. He looks like Chris in this photo- long and lean with that smile :) (of course I have not seen any photos of Chris with swim goggles, but they still look alike) :)

This is adorable!!

OMG!!! He looks so tall and so grown-up (except for the goggles). When did that happen?

Amazing! He looks like "little Christopher" with those sleeves rolled up and the belt! You must be so proud of him!

Man, Ali! He's growing up! What a handsome boy.

I love coming to your site and reading your publishings. I gain inspiration and motivation to keep capturing memories & creating treasures.
But the bonus side of it is that we get to see Simon grow up.
Do you know how much you are adored, Mr. Simon?
