Sparks are flying around the blogosphere again today, as we join in with Alyce, At Home With Books, to showcase our Saturday Snapshots.
Continuing with my recent “then” and “now” trend, today I’m featuring my oldest grandson, who is turning seventeen in June! I know…I can’t believe it either.
Here’s a photo of him…before he was truly socialized. The dangling noodle might be your first clue.
Here he is again, a few years later…about nine. He’s the one in the middle.
And now…wait for it! Here he is, just the other day, looking completely socialized and somewhat glamorous.
How did it happen? I still think of him as my first grandbaby!
What do you have to share today? I hope you’ll stop by and leave some comments and links.

It’s amazing how quickly they grow up and become socialize. Although…they’re so cute when they’re young and just do whatever without worrying about what everybody thinks. Very handsome young man.
