Jack spent a lot of the day sleeping...

So it should be another crazy night at the Babb household, but it's never as wild here as it is at our neighbors' group houses*.

One set of our more recently graduated group house neighbors gave us an airplane-sized bottle of Jack Daniels (1) to celebrate the birth of our son and (2) to thank us for letting them use our hose and carpet shampoo last weekend after one of their friends barfed in the back of another friend's car.

*for those outside DC, high apartment rental rates in our section of Arlington (no less than $1,500 for a train-accessible, nicely maintained place) prompt recent graduates to band together to rent houses, rather than individual apartments, resulting in per head costs closer to $1,000. This means people with nice houses and massive mortgages in great neighborhoods frequently find Solo cups in their yards, and have deal with occasional raging parties.
