Happy 1st Birthday Evan!!!!

Wow, where has the time gone?  Today is my grandson's first birthday.  It feels like just yesterday that we were waiting for the news and being told we had a grandson.  And, for those of you who may not know, I am going to be a grandma again in late November/early December and Evan will be a big brother :)

Here is the first picture of me as a Grandma:

And this was taken about 3 weeks ago:

Grandma hasn't changed much but Evan sure has.

I am not going to be able to make it to all of the party today as I have to work (Shhhh....I am working an early shift and hope to surprise them at supper time) but will be well represented by my family of great grandparents, aunts and cousins.  I have a card and a shadow box to show you that I made for baby Evan today.
