Lola, you certainly have a darling grand daughter. Looks like you had lots of fun with her.

I sure had a lot of fun with my Little Gabi. Lolo was so jealous! It seems like only a day but it was 3 1/2 days! I had to tape her voice so Lolo can hear her. She gives good hugs and kisses with an extra pat on the back. Can't wait to hug her again.
