Pictures from Lisa's Shower

Here are some pictures from Lisa's lovely shower! We were so sad that Lisa and Chloie couldn't attend, but we're going to have a 'Welcome, Chloie' party in a few months when she is well enough to travel and be around lots of people.

Here's Chloie!

Here are a few pictures of Chloie, my new grandbaby! She's teeny-tiny! And adorable? Now I'm trying to decide what I want to be called. Should I be Nana? That's what I'm leaning toward right now! Any other suggestions would be welcome =) I have more pics that I'll try to post later.
