It kills me to put that +1 day there, but there was no point during daylight when all three boys were at home and awake so I let them talk me into doing it today rather than inside, last night, when they were all exhausted from their soccer game. But at least it was a conscious decision and not an “oops I forgot.”
On the bright side, I made them promise to smile if we put it off until this morning, and they kept their word.
(Poor Miles is home sick today.)
Oooh I have ten months to decide what to do for the 200th pic. I had fun with the 100th. I have a feeling they won’t be quite as cooperative for this one.
Summer’s almost over. Sophomore year starts in four days. Gah!
They all passed their written driver’s test, so it won’t be too long before they’re, gulp, on the road.
No, I did not forget to take the monthly picture (but SOMEONE did.) I left early on the 4th to go to California, so George was in charge. So it was taken a day late and since I didn’t bring my laptop with me, it’s being posted five days late. But it’s here and it’s adorable and good luck telling Oliver and Miles apart now if you run into one of them in the street.
(George took the boys with him to work on Monday because the power went out Sunday night, hence the “school gym” locale.)
fifteen times twelve plus three
one hundred eighty-three months!
Not much else to say. Time marches on.
Well, at least Miles got a haircut.
(Yes, Mom, I took it on time, I just don’t usually feel like using my computer on weekends.)
Who are these shaggy haired ragamuffins? All I know is they smell after their team won 3-1. Hooray!
Happy birthday, boys! Laying low today – they’ve had four soccer games in the past three days and Linus has a cold, so they need the rest. Their big gift is tickets to a Saints game next month, their first, so they’re excited for that.
You’re looking at the three newest members of the Ben Franklin JV soccer team! Okay, it’s not that much of an achievement since no one gets cut BUT STILL I can be a proud mom, can’t I?
I also realized I haven’t posted since last month’s picture, which is shameful but also, there hasn’t been much to post about because life has generally revolved around, well, soccer tryouts. And starting next week, games and practices. But I’ll be out of town for my first work meetup since January 2020! Pretty excited about that.
Whoops this is supposed to be about the boys, not me. Well. They turn 15 in a month, and ain’t that a kick in the head?
Look! I managed a laugh in there! They do have teeth, betcha didn’t know that.
Also, Linus and Miles obviously have favorite outfits.
My brother and niece were in town and we took the 7th bench picture. Or sixth, if you choose not to count last year’s curb pic. I’m not sure if I do or not.
2022:
If you look at the previous pictures, you might ask yourself if that’s the same bench as in previous years. LSU apparently rearranged the furniture a little, because they seemed to have moved the bench over about six feet to the right and removed the tree that was on the right side in all the pics (that’s now the shrubbery behind Linus and Ellie.)
We determined that this is the old location of the bench, you can see that the concrete is a bit lighter where it was:
Irritatingly, the children would not help us move the solid concrete bench so we could more accurately recreate the old photos. Jerks.
Here are the previous bench pics. Watch everyone get smaller!
