Photo opp-OUT for Noah

Since we visited Prattville this weekend, I was hoping to get a cute picture of Helen with Noah, Jenny's youngest son. He and Helen are only about 5 weeks apart in age and Jenny got him the cutest little outfit for Easter. It just so happens that Helen's dress coordinated with Noah's duds.


After services were over, I walked over to Brandon and asked if I could get Noah's picture and he hesitated for maybe half a second and said "SURE!" Well, I have hesitated that way before. A parent hesitates that way when he/she wants to say yes, when they know (out of intuition or just plain common sense) that it's never gonna happen with "this kid." Then, you agree to the request, but before your brain can process all of this, there forms that hesitation. If you are a parent, I hope you know what I'm saying. It means no disrespect to Brandon, it just made me chuckle because I felt his angst.


Brandon gave Noah to Jenny and we stood side by side with the kids. Helen did "ok" but she was her wiggly self, not to mention tired. Noah, was really tired too, and maybe it was because the Easter Bunny got him up early that morning, so he didn't want to put on a smile for us. He may have even been a little bashful. But honestly, what two toddlers do you know that can actually hold still at the same time to get a photo. It's rare.

First shot.....not so good....

Second shot....it'll have to do. LOL! No more shots for Noah. It's time for a nappy. (Isn't that a cute little outfit)



Thanks for trying Jenny, Noah, and Brandon...maybe we'll get a better one next time. Maybe BEFORE we all sit through services. Parents fighting their kids to be still and kids fighting their parents to do what they want to do...that'll make anyone tired.
