Weekend with the Hirst Kiddos

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of keeping Ellie and Charlie so that Adrienne and Damian could have a very much needed babymoon.  We had a fantastic time and the kids loved every minute of having their friends at our home.

When the kids first got there I snapped a few group pictures.  I knew it would probably be my only chance !

Saturday morning Jay helped the kids to build a huge tent in the living room.  At one point all 4 kids and Jay were inside.  What a fun daddy!

Jackson was so funny and wanted to help Ellie put on and take off her shoes at every opportunity.  She seemed to like it as well as she would call to him every time she needed help with anything.  He also insisted on helping Charlie with everything as well.

Besties Charlie and Baron loved every minute of their time together.

They were always right next to each other no matter what was going on.

At one point I was making lunch and heard the boys hysterically laughing in the play room.  I walked in to see this. . .

I may be wrong but I don’t remember Jackson playing this much with anyone at this age.  I think he was still doing parallel play.  But these guys are serious buddies.  I love it.

Sunday the kids had a blast playing at church between the services.

Sweet little Charlie.

Jay had the “bigs” in his car because he had taken them to home depot to do the kids project and also to US Toys to play for the afternoon.  I had the “littles” and they were thrilled to be together.  They held hands and laughed and played the whole time.

What a great weekend!  I just wish that I had more pictures of all of the fun that the bigs had.  Thanks A & D for trusting us with your sweet babies!  We’d love to have them again soon.

Chris thought Ellie was Mia & Bear was Lennon at first. Everyone is getting so big!

Are you kidding?! Thank YOU for such a wonderful babymoon! The kids had a blast and we relaxed more than we have in years. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in the kids' lives!

Oh and I love that Ellie is sitting in the Bumbo in the group shots -- ha!
