Friday morning, Emma played
as Ben watched
and then gathered things
for her breakfast
as Jack watched
and the rest of the family arrived
as the bread was sliced
and the children played
as the older children played video games
and the assembled visited in the family room
while Larry played sudoku
some cookies appeared
with tomatoes
and Jack ate

and Jack
and Emma
with a pause for some family photos of the generations
before Fran settled
the cool whip appeared
and Emma roamed by
as the crowd int eh family room
missed Dick's valiant charge across the foot bridge
though on our return, all were assembled
the food was out
the fire was lit
and the twins
played the piano
while Janet served
Dick and Fran watched
and Ben sorted Snapple tops
to the amusement of Jane
Dick and Fran
Janet
and Jack
who had to be kept away from Ben's sorting
and as Jack explored
the others watched him
and Emma
as Larry got out the whipped cream
the fire continued
and Dick
took this picture
as I took this self portrait
and the twins
|
|
|
|
|
admired the whiteness of it all
and Jane's cap
as the flames burnt
and Dick
and Larry
and Dick
and Dick and the twins
and Jack
posed for Dick
as Larry stood by
and I took this fire portrait
and saw the people
who were away from the fire
and the twins

but the adults
largely watched the twins
even as Ben
and Jack
didn't notice the fire's last gasps
or this self profile I took
as Jane took a few low light pictures
and Jane curled on Larry
as we ended the evening with this picture of Sarah
