was Benjamin's reaction to the rain and to the thought of going to
the football game with Harvard, though we did manage to
catch the second quarter and to show the Tigers how to score a
touchdown, though our lesson didn't seem to take.
It was the weekend. A lot of people came into our lives and a lot of people left. More of our family than usual took pictures including some artistic work. We recorded much of it. Despite the appearances reflected in this web page, we did spend a fair amount of the weekend out of the house. We just recorded very little of that activity.
To set the context, it was the beginning of fall break, so Sarah was
quite happy to be home for a few days and David was happy to have
his responsibilities reduced, though he should really have been writing
that grant proposal rather than playing with the camera.
It all started on Saturday when this
was Benjamin's reaction to the rain and to the thought of going to
the football game with Harvard, though we did manage to
catch the second quarter and to show the Tigers how to score a
touchdown, though our lesson didn't seem to take.
After dinner, the gang assembled
to do some cookie decoration which only worked because more
cookies
were being rolled out onto cookie sheets
and put into the oven
even as the ingredients accumulated
for further making cookies
that would later fill our bellies.
Chris appeared
to Suzanne's amusement
to pick up Kaylen
as Jane made her tongue face
her eyes closed face
and her frog face
to show her displeasure that even though there were
more cookies to be decorated,
Michael was here
and Lucy would have to leave.
Sarah's gang from high school days gathered
and came together
for a few group pictures
before Jane and Lucy took their biblical tract picture
and left them to gather partly together
for a few more pictures. Benjamin
pretended to get ready for bed as the girls
looked at prior pictures and the cookies
and pizza leftover from dinner
kept the cookies
company in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Jane
was chatting as Suzanne
and Benjamin
watched the World Series.
The night ended with a picture of the cameras
used to take pictures of the girls that might or might not appear
here at some future date after they have been processed
by conventional means and turned into digital form.
The next day, Andy posed
and then there were the brother and sister pictures
before we revisited the cookies
and decorations
from the night before.
