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.
