All grown up

This collage is of my first boy son, Tate who had his 43rd birthday Friday..where has the time gone.   The first photo is his first birthday,   the photo with the dreadlocks was from his early 20s..thank goodness he grew out of that phase with the third photo taken recently.   His hair is still long and the beard has not been shaved off in 20+ years.   At one time he had little dreadlocks in the beard too!     He loves to play his guitar and has recently started playing music with a couple of friends where he lives.   Since it is not Reggae music, he won't need the dreads!  

He found out recently that beards get grey hair too!    Love my Tater Tot!
