I was supposed to shoot a soccer game. It got called on account of rain. I figured I'd shoot tonight's game instead. I wound up at urgent care as a result of pushing myself too hard in my attempts to recover from having spent four months nearly bedridden. So, I have local daycare Valentine's day party shots instead. I didn't know any of these children. I forgot to write down one little girl's name, and had to drive out and show the provider the images in order to get it. Lesson learned!

Nathaniel shows Miles one of the cards from his basket.

Donovan squirms anxiously in his mother's lap.

Ainsley forgoes her napkin.

Lachalan enjoys the mess as much as the food.

Ainsley draws out the end of the festivities while the other children wait impatiently on the step.
