Meet Miss Chloe Louise Nightingale


Isn't she lovely? Five days old when this picture was taken by her GreatAunt Cathie, who drove south to Houlton, Maine with homemade frosted gingerbread cookies to celebrate her birth. Chloe Nightingale was 6 lbs 4 oz when born and Cathie tells me she nearly fits entirely into her one hand! That's her Mom Cassie's finger she is grasping. Dad Andrew was able to stay home from work for Chloe's first week at home and had to very reluctantly tear himself away this week.
With a name like Chloe Louise Nightingale (and a very dramatic singing and dancing Mom, plus ever-energetic Grandmom Theresa) I'm sure Chloe came into this world with trumpets blaring and spotlights shining. TA-DA! Here I am!!
We'll get to see her and hold her this summer when we go to Maine. She is our second greatgrandchild, and already surrounded by loving family and friends. And gingerbread.
