My wee bouncing baby boy is now as tall as me, shaving and midway through his teens.
Anyone who's been following this blog for a while will know family tradition has it that I have to create cards for the kids on their birthdays using my Photoshop skills.
In previous years Rogan has variously been Dr Who, Neo in The Matrix, a Pirate of the Caribbean, and Wolverine.
There have been major family upheavals over the past couple of days and this morning I suddenly realised I'd not thought about his card. "Do you have any ideas what you might like?" I asked him.
"No. Surprise me," he said. Then went on, "and make it really good!"
Nuts. Wrong answer.
Fortunately I had a sudden burst of inspiration when looking at a photo I took of him the other day when he had one raised eyebrow, looking at me with a sceptical suspicion.
So this is the birthday card he'll receive when he gets in from school later...

First ! Happy Birthday Rogan.
ReplyDeleteYou look great as Mr Bond.
Daniel Craig eat your heart out.
how wonderful! i think this is the best one, so far! i left him a birthday message on fb! xoxox
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROGAN!
Oh, I like it. And he would be ever so much better than Daniel Craig. I've had to quit watching Bond because of him. However all the boy members of my family like him better than the other Bonds except, of course, Sean Connery.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rogan. You make an excellent OO7.
Happy Birthday Rogan! Time flies so fast when they'e growing up! I hope he likes his card, you've done a great job as always.
ReplyDeleteCool card! And a very Happy Birthday to Rogan. They grow up soooo fast!
ReplyDeleteThat raised eyebrow certainly looks like someone else on your blog page, doesn't it??? As they say, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree!
I happen to like Daniel Craig so I can say.... Rogan looks so much better.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the card Dad ! Your too young to have a 15 year old son !
Happy Birthday from Tucson, Arizona
cheers, parsnip
Happy Birthday Rogan!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you've got the Da's expressions! :¬)
(Kool Kard Kim!) :¬)
Happy Happy Birthday Rogan! What a handsome young man you have there.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, THE CARD ROCKS!!!!
Very merry cheery happy birthday Rogan.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, and he looks so grown up!
I really wish I'd thought to elicit your services because Stevie is 50 tomorrow and a cool, personalized card would have been just the thing. Maybe when he turns 60 I'll be more organised.
Happy Birthday Rogan! (Is he having 2 birthdays a year now? Swore he JUST had one).
ReplyDeleteYep, Daniel Craig drop the gun and move out of the picture...there's a new man in town. I always loved Sean Connery best...but perhaps Rogan could be the 2nd coming of the real Bond.
Gee, I might need to adopt you to be MY Dad. ;)
Happy Birthday to Rogan.
ReplyDeleteA very sophisticated looking fifteen year old.

Your wee boy at fifteen is probably doing more than just shaving. Just saying. Happy birthday Rogan!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been following you long enough to know that. That is an awesome thing you do. And this year's card looks fantastic. Happy birthday Rogan!
ReplyDeletethe names Bond, Rogan Bond!
ReplyDeleteVery nice tradition you have going there.
A very happy birthday to Rogan and that is a really beautiful tradition you follow. Your Photoshop skills are supercool!
ReplyDeleteI think you get *seriously cool Dad* points for this, Kim....kudos!
ReplyDelete(hey, thanks for sharing about Charlie in your previous post....I perused a bit of his writing and my heart is sitting here, broken...and asking, "why?".....what a beautiful person.....I just can't wrap my head around so much pain and why all the pain......just made me wish I could somehow gather him up......wish my arms reached farther and were wider......
...anyway, thanks........)
Oooh! Naaice!
ReplyDelete:D
Happy Birthday to your son, Rogan :)

ReplyDeleteThanks to each of you for your positive comments about the card and the birthday wishes for Rogan - I have passed them on to him and he was clearly pleased to receive them :)
