Having made it through Labor Day and the day of the teacher's
strike,
Ben
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1529
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1530
and Jane
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1531
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1532
were ready fro the first day of school. Ben even had a new lunch
box
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1533
to prove it.
We took the standard pictures
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1534
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1535
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1536
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1537
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1538
at the first day of school tree, watched Jane think
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1539
about getting her shoes on, said good bye to the
books for the SVC
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1540
and looked down the foggy driveway
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1541
while the green car
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1542
was getting ready for the trip. We reviewed a little math
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1543
just in case as we made it through the 4 ton limit
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1544
to where Michael
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1545
was dropping off Lucy so that the fabulous four
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1546
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1547
could assemble. On the way back, we recorded some patriotism
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1548
and caught the weight limit sign
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1549
to be ready for what came next.
What came next were the hand pictures of David
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1550
Ben
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1551
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1552
who still had to get ready
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1553
for the trip to the bus stop.
Again we looked down the foggy driveway
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1554
and began our walk
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1555
to the bus stop where the Dobbs-Allsop's were approaching
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1556
and we caught Chip
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1557
then a reluctant Hannah
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1558
Laura
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1559
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1560
before the boys gathered at the pole
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1561
and the Shea's arrived
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1562
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1563
as the Dimaggio's began to cross the street
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1564
for this closeup of Paul
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1565
and Carol
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1566
and these attempts to get a family picture
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1567
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1568
with William looking up. Suzanne bade Benjamin farewell
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1569
Will looked around
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1570
and everyone waited for the bus
../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1571
to finally appear so that school could begin.
