Naptime Nightmares

Kristyn and I woke up from our naps on Sunday afternoon to Jax crying in his bed. When we went into his room, we found him soaking wet and surrounded by this mess in his crib. When we tracked down his sister who was in her room, she told us that he was crying so she tried to make him stop by giving him some toys. When we asked about the water, she said she thought he was hot so she brought him some water in a cup...and then poured it on him! Here is the evidence

Indy Race in Richmond

Some friends gave us amazing passes to the Indy Race in Richmond last weekend: parking passes, club suite, pit passes, pre-race track passes and a chance to ride around the track at 100 mph in the "safety car" before the race. It was a great date night!!



Dario Franchitti, we missed seeing his wife, Ashley Judd, by a few minutes in pit row, or so we heard.

TK, Tony Kanaan, signing autographs.
This is the car we rode around the track driven by a retired INDY driver, got up to 107 in the front stretch.



Indy cars get up to about 150-160 at Richmond's short track, which is what the Nascar cars get up to at Daytona. Crazy fast.
