The Sewing Mom

It is so hard for me to believe that a year has passed, it passed so very quickly. Our granddaughter has turned one!

I remember early last summer, receiving our Baby shower invitations to both the shower in California, where they live, and the one in Kansas City, where my step-daughter grew up and her mom still lives. It was so hard for us to believe she was even pregnant, but we were sure excited for her. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it to either shower, but we did send out gifts. Then, not too long after the baby was born, my husband and our daughter flew out to California to meet the newest member of our family.

This past June, we flew mom, dad and little one out to visit with us. It was my first time to get to see her and I was thrilled. She is absolutely adorable and so smart! She is definitely going to be keeping them on their toes. I had so much fun doting on her and I took her shopping for clothes and shoes, what fun! Of course, that’s what grandmothers are supposed to do, right?!

Last week, our little one turned one. We got her party invitation in the mail, but again, we weren’t able to attend. That’s okay, her daddy was good and emailed us a ton of photos and it looked like everyone, including our little one, had a fabulous time. I was out of town and still need to mail her gift, which I will do in the next few days.

While I’m talking about it, I have to tell you, they’ve always used the cutest invitations. I’m not exactly sure where they’ve gotten them, but I know that vistaprint.com offers a wide selection. I’ve purchased a number of printed items from them and have been very happy with their work.
