Even though it was April Fool's Day, Jane decided to take pictures of the plants for her biology experiment

before fading to white for the day. As Jen tried to be incognito as did this person (so much so, I can't tell who it is) as the television amused me while Jen couldn't watch, so that Jane took this picture and then went into heavy experimental mode

before recording Ben's work sheet for the night.

A few days later, Ben hid behind his book and then posed as did Jane as Ben showed how a newly turned 9 year old reads a book.

That morning, I taught Jane's geometry class and the one after it with Justin and the rest of the kids in the class.

Then, I went to work and met with Bernard and Kai before Ken came down and took this picture of me with glasses and this without which were to be about my last pictures before my transformation. Michele showed off her new lens before I headed off to the Y where the basketball was already starting to the amusement of Suzanne and Sadia and Audrey while in the other room, Jane Kevin and Jen were thinking about Jack's present which reused the invitation as Ian and Nate arrived and Nathaniel was there but Hannah was shy as Sebastian and Sam joined the game and the party room was getting set up with the sandwiches and fruit salad as the presents mounted and the cake (actually cookie) shined and the drinks were ready to go along with the chips in individual packages.

Back in the gym, the older kids watched as the game progressed and they were still watching when Benjamin had his moment of exuberance and Ed and Sarah arrived to explore the room and the goodie bags while I had to stand on my feet to finally get Sarah to give me a decent pose.

Back in the gym the other kids watched as the game wore down and everyone headed for the party room table where the kids are

and mother and sister watched a happy birthday boy

until the main act began. Ed started to juggle as Sarah watched and the kids talked about their juggling experiences until Ed juggled more and Ian watched and more juggling and more watching (Kevin this time) and juggling and watching as some kids gathered and others watched as Ed handed the balls to Kurren who couldn't quite juggle. The party continued and the balloons came as Ed got them lined up for more balloons as even the arrival of parents could not stop the lines even when Sam had his coat on the line continued and Leslie arrived for Will to a group of balloon wanting kids as did Ross who saw Kurren's swords.

Laura and Hannah arrived but neither would quite pose for a picture even as Ben showed his balloon and the faces started until we got home for the local celebration which began with cheese and Email reading as Kurren and Ben played chess and then moved to the dinner table where Sarah and Ed were eating the remaining fruit salad and pizza was served to everyone's amusement until we decided to put on the birthday hate and sing to the birthday boy until Kurren lost track and decided to try to look like this sculpture. He came close to the amusement of all

That Sunday, I was pretty happy to say yes to this person which seemed to make her just as happy.

A few days later, we recorded the gifts
