Unfortunately he was a bit wary of having his newfound wealth photographed in these hard times... He tried keeping his mouth clenched:

Shep's First Homework Assignment

Shepard brought home some homework on Monday. He was supposed to fill out this poster with pictures and fun facts about himself for the start of the new school year. With a little help from Mommy, he did a great job! He's such a good little student already!
