Grandma and Lyla

While Jack and I went to Spain and Portugal my Mom watched Lyla.  It sure was nice to be able to go out to dinner without spending the whole time entertaining, feeding, or disciplining a child.  We were able to eat, relax and actually have conversation.  It was also very nice for Lyla to be able to spend time with her Grandma.


Grandma reported that Lyla was indeed quite a handful and had more energy that most people.  Grandma and Lyla spent lots of time, playing, reading book, and doing puzzles together. When Grandma had to leave, Lyla said, "Grandma be back in a little bit."  Later after we got home from taking Grandma to the airport Lyla asked where Grandma's shoes were.  Lyla definitely misses her Grandma.  Luckily we will be going home for a visit soon.

Grandma and Lyla at the fall festival on base.  Lyla was supposed to be dressed like a fairy.  Apparently she refused to wear her costume.   Mom was without any transportation here since the driving is so different and she wasn't really here long enough to get the hang of it.  Thankfully we have great friends and Mark and Erynn picked Lyla and Grandma up for the fall festival and trick or treating.
