Six of a Kind







Last week I got the chance to head down to Norwich, about an hour or so south of Hutchinson, and hang out with the Headrick family for the evening. In 2002, Sondra and Eldon Headrick increased the size of their family from 3 to 9, giving then three year-old daughter Aubrianna six new siblings. The Hutch News has been keeping up with the family since the sextuplets birth, and today we published the latest installment of their story. Danielle, Ethan, Grant, Jaycie, Melissa and Sean Headrick are now 7-years-old and will be going into second grade when school starts again in the fall. It was an interesting experience making photos of the kids since they've grown up with periodic visits from people with cameras and for the most part ignored my ever-clicking camera shutter. Anyway, it was a fun night with a very nice family, who let me hang around for dinner and tag along to a pool party. I may try to catch up with them a few more times during my time in Kansas. We'll see.

Thanks for lending your eyes,
Pat
