It was such a treat to see the Hirst kids. Damian was away in England and we were sorry to miss him but happy to provide a few sets of hands to help Adrienne.
Keanan is on a warp developmental schedule. Crawling, sitting to crawling, crawling to sitting. He does it all with a big grin on his face.
“So do you want to play, huh? huh?”
Beside buses and bananas, Thomas the Train is Charlie’s favorite thing in the world. We went to the quaint town of Grapevine and spent the day seeing Mr. Topham Hat and riding on a vintage train pulled by Thomas.
The railroad car had old velvet upholstered seats, brass fans, stained glass windows above and windows that opened by each seat. The kids spent most of the trip with their heads out the window! We think they know now why dogs like it so much.
Lots of folks wanting to take photos with Thomas. Having the picnic lunch that Mom packed held a much greater attraction.
Every grandkid has to have Papa’s hat at some point before they turn one year old. That and Papa’s cases for his eyeglasses seem irresistible.
There is so much to do in the kids’ playroom including pretty much daily attempts at reaching the highest point in the room
Aunt Jamie worked in a costume store before Halloween and bought all of the kids some great costumes. Adrienne’s arms are thin but unbelievably strong, helping Superman Keanan to fly while Ellie helps extend his cape. Charlie is his fire fighter outfit looks on.
A Thomas the Train costume – life is good!
You know your vision is bad when you need reading glasses for a picture book with very large print!
Best friends and buddies. It’s a joy to watch them share and look out for each other. Err, well, a vast majority of the time anyway!
“Ya gotta do this Charlie, it’s really fun!
Adrienne does an amazing job! The kids are so happy and fun to be around. Their life is full of singing, laughing, eating, and loving each other.
