Playdates, Playdates

A couple of weeks ago Heather was off work so she and Claire met us at Chick-fil-A for lunch and then we went to the park. We have not seen them in so long so it was such a treat. I wasn't sure how Hayes would do since he hasn't seen Claire in a while but they played so well together! Joey and I think Claire is just the cutest thing ever and it is obvious from these pictures that Hayes thinks she is pretty cute too! He would hold her hand to help her cross the bridge and gave her lots of hugs when it was time to go. They were so sweet. Tanner loved playing with them too and hopefully will be walking soon so he can participate more. We are all so busy that it is hard to get together but hopefully we can make more time in the future. The kids had so much fun!

"Hayes, I need help crossing the bridge"

"No problem Claire, let's go"

"Hang on tight!"

Sweet hug and maybe a little sugar



I think Hayes has a new best friend. Barrett lives in our neighborhood and is only a few months younger than Hayes. He has been over several times to play lately and earlier this week we went with him and his mom, Ashley, to Books a Million to play with the train table and then went to Chick-fil-A to eat lunch and play. They have a lot of fun together and are both into cars and balls so they get along well. It is so nice to have them so close by. The boys can play and Ashley and I can sit and watch and talk. Conversation with another adult--I almost forgot what it was like! Here are a few pics of Barrett and Hayes playing together.

Everyone has to push something down the street. I push Tanner in the wagon, Hayes pushes his little wagon and Barret got creative and pushed the cooler!

Good defense Hayes!
