A little of this and a lot of that

Over the past week and a half we have been doing a lot of this...

And this....

Lila and her friend Zia working on the ball together :-)

And a little of this.....

 Above our apartment is a larger one bedroom where Carol, Patrick and their granddaughter Zoe stayed for the first week of our visit.  They were so wonderful, and we really enjoyed their company...especially Lila!  Lila and Zoe had a blast playing ball together, and Lila really looked u to Zoe :-)  The last night of their stay, we enjoyed an evening together with dinner and lots of laughter!  We miss having them around, but was a pleasure spending time with them.  For those of you who know my Mom, Carol reminded us of her, so much that Lila asked if he could see grandma.  Carol took this as a huge compliment because she is a wonderful grandmother :-)

Patrick, Zoe, and Lila

Wonderful neighbors for a week :-)

Lindsay, Lila and I

My dear cousin Lindsay also came to visit for a couple of days, and was a huge help!  It was so wonderful having her around, that I hope we live closer to each other again someday:-)
