I like alt2 best because one can see the front of the kids rather than the back of the girl in the white jacket as in the main. Alt3 tells me that you have several years to go... my 21 year old son wears still wears that expression from time to time. I used to name it the "terminal gloom and doom" expression but the gloom and doom have abated a very little in the last couple of years. I think that I like my photos with more contrast than you do... just an observation not a criticism.
