parent's night out
last night our wednesday night small group put on a parents-night-out for the couples with young children at cornerstone church. this is 1 year old (i think) esther brantley. we took care of five kids, aged 4 months to 4 years, and had a lot of fun doing it. granted, we had them outnumbered nearly 2 to 1, so i would definitely say that if there was a winner at the end of the evening, it was the babysitters, not the babysat. however, ender doe did threaten to stage a coup towards the end of the evening when he began throwing stuffed animals on top of the flourescent ceiling lights. lucky for us, the majority of his cohorts have a difficult time walking on their own and were therefore unable to join in the rebellion. suffice to say though, young children are probably the best photographic subjects there are. they're almost completely unaware of the presence of the camera and when they are their posing is often more entertaining.
...
nothing else today - gotta get to work.
so do men have biological clocks? nice kid photo, andy.
