This is about a week in our life.

It started on Monday with dinner with Ben Jane and Suzanne as we enjoyed the fruit and salad plates.

On Wednesday, I met with Tom Roche of the English Department and Bob Durkee who is Vice President for Public Relations.

On Thursday, I met with JoAnn Mitchell and Steven Gill who are the vice provosts who look after the university's money.

Friday morning, Ben made this face before heading off to camp maybe because he knew about the sleeping 15 year olds Ned Kevin Jane and Kaylen who were in our family room having stayed up all night to prove that they could.

Friday night began the Albemarle concert sequence. We went to All Saints Church and joined the crowds waiting to go in for the musicianship training concert.

Saturday's concert was at the chapel at the Lawrenceville School and Jane and Sarah were ready as was Suzanne as the choir was there and sang away in the heat and humidity.

Afterwards, we found Ben and Nate on the lawn wrestling and hugging and pulling each other fro and to as Nate got together with his mother and sister and Ben lifted his head to get in a few family photos before he decided to go back to Nate so Laura could take a few pictures before they got back to action which amused Suzanne, Sarah and Jane who were eventually joined by Ben looking down then up and then almost at the camera which caused Suzanne and Laura to make plans and Ben, Nate and Daniel Sturm posed for a few before starting their dance as Suzanne and Paul Starr watched. Next the boys did their dance and we drove on back to Albemarle to search through the god's eyes until we could find Benjamin's as Nate showed off his sculpture and we decided to call it a successful year at Albemarle.

As the boys were finishing lunch Suzanne gathered together the library books to give us so Jane and I could go bring Sarah her shoes at the MCUDL fields where the banner caused us to take even more pictures of the signs. Next we went to get gas and drove down Nassau Street until these people pulled out so that we could park for CVS and buy gum since Jane's photos were not done. After paying for the gum we went to the library and then to Blue Mountain to look at the shoes until this sales person found the right shoes for Jane.
