It was the season of first days of school. We began with the sendoff dinner for Jane at Main Street with a toast
and then a picture of the new college student
and Ben and Jane posed
then Suzanne and Sarah
and David and Suzanne
followed by a dark picture
and then individual pictures of me
Jane
Suzanne
Sarah
and Ben
as we studied the menu
The next day, we loaded up the car (in a heavy rainfall)
and went to pick up Jane's key where we ran into James Lanzi of Public Safety
before getting to Jane's room
so that she could unpack a few things
and then pose with Amelia and Lizzie, two of her room mates
while Sarah, Ben and Suzanne posed in the room and we left Jane for Outdoor Action.
Before the next first day of school, I greeted Phil Johnson-Laird from Psychology in my office for a discussion.
Then it was time to revisit the tree for another first day of school
Ben and Suzanne posed because each was starting that day
then Suzanne and I posed
and then there was the walk to the bus stop where Ben and Nate posed
and on to the elementary school bus stop where I was still welcome where I saw Chip and Henry
and Adam and Hannah
as Hannah and Emily K.
and then Emily K., Henry and Hannah were still willing to pose for first day pictures.

Jane's OA trip returned, so we loaded the car again
and Ben posed with her plant
as we made our way to brunch at Rocky where I ran into Stu Orifice
and then we explored the room to see if progress was possible
before James appeared
to fix the beds and pose with Lizzie and Jane
until we left the mess on the floor
and headed off to the U store and back where we ran into Alan, Joel and Kara Straus
before heading back to the room where the work continued
and one
by one
by one
the four room mates gathered for these pictures.
After settling Jane and visiting Sam's Club, we headed to Penang
for Ben's first day of school dinner (slightly delayed) where these were our (very tasty) main dishes
