Hello...congradulations for your son!

A program that you may like is microsoft photostory 3, it is free and very
easy to use... it produces fantastic results with little effort.

After you make the movie, you must convert it from WMV to
a movie format that can be written to dvd... but this is not a problem...
since many applications can do this. You can find much info on Papajohns
site
http://www.papajohn.org/ (see the left links, where it has an entry for
photostory 3)
If you need help with that post back... I would be more than happy to assist
you.
