School Pics Are In

This is the first year that all three of our boys are in some school and each got school pictures. These shots pretty accurately sum up how these boys are right now. I was trying to put words on each of them and here's what I've got. I think you can see from Beau's picture that he is a very confident little man. He knows what he wants and he'll tell you. This picture of Pierce screams "defiance" to me. He is a very sweet boy but will do his own thing. Cash is going through a shy phase and I'm sure just getting him to half smile took some serious work by the crew, but he did give in because he knew that's what they wanted out of him. We are very proud of our little men.

Not Your Typical Night...

I'm sitting on the couch when I hear what sounds like someone crashing their car into our house. I grab my shoes and as I walk outside I see a car flipped over on the street in front of my house and a guy a few houses away sprinting. Pretty entertaining evening...

Ever since this night I've been thinking about the incentives here. The guy was clearly drunk so does he stay and get a DUI or do does he run and (assuming he doesn't get caught that night)  and get charged with leaving the scene? In the end, the guy got away from police that night but was found a couple of days later and charged with leaving the scene.  It turns out, since no one was hurt, that it is a class 2 misdemeanor. So there is incentive in this case is to run, which is kinda messed up.

By the Couch, Not On the Couch

With Beau in first grade and Pierce and Cash both in preschool we are getting our first taste of life with everyone in school. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty great.

This was from their first day after Marta said, "Go stand by the couch so I can take your picture."
