"Life is good in California.  I've taken over my great grandma's and great grandpa's household and every friend and family member has fallen in love with me.  I sure am eating up all the attention!" 

The Arrival

 Shannon and Ally have arrived.  This week will be some kind of wonderful.  It's been a long time since we've had a baby in the family and we are "over the moon" with Ally!  And yes!  I am too young to be Great Grandma!  But I am loving every minute of it!

Arrival at gate 11

Phone call with Granddaughter

My phone conversation with Shannon this afternoon ended with the most wonderful words:  "See you tomorrow!"
