Day 49: Baby sitting

Last week we started babysitting for our friends while they went to small group on Sunday nights. Two-year-old Emil has fun playing for a couple of hours with us and Zaria, so it's really pretty fun. It could've been a babysitting swap with Emil's parents watching Zaria while Jamin and I go to small group, but my mom doesn't really want to give up her babysitting time. It works out fine, since we often come back after Zaria's bedtime anyway, but it's also nice to know we have a backup. By about January, Emil's little brother Nils will join us-- right now he still goes with his mom and dad. In this photo, Zaria was having fun jumping up and down in the activity center while the rest of us enjoyed some apple crisp for dessert.
