Papertrey Ink stamp and die, image unknown
It's hard to believe a whole year has flown by and Tate is now a year old! At first I was going to buy him a Hallmark birthday card but when my sister showed me the card that she made for him, I felt so guilty. Having little Tate around gives me little time and energy for blog hopping or card making but I thought if Auntie took the time to make him a card, well grandma better make him a card too, lol! This image reminded me of him--he loves playing in the pool or at the beach.
Here's our precious little rascal. He's quite an active little boy and by the end of the day, grandma and grandpa are totally pooped! lol.
And this is the beautiful card my sister made. So cute!

Time flies! Kiddies grow so fast!
I too wante to welcome you back it's been a long time. I don't have a lot of room to talk since I haven't posted anything for awhile either. Love your card and the pictures of your little grandson are adorable. Hope to see more cards in the future. The beach and sun sound really good since we are having rain, snow and cold temperatures.
