It was the first day of school and so it was necessary to record the event in great detail. We began by recording Jane having her breakfast ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060001 Sarah making her lunch ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060002 Benjamin's glasses case which had been the subject of a major house search ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060003 and then his breakfast. ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060004 We took a number of family photos by the tree and you, gentle viewer, are invited to voice your opinion as to which is best ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060005 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060006 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060007 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060008 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060009 at which point Jane put her wig back on ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060010 so that she'd be ready for what the day brought.

We left Sarah off at the high school and then snuck around to get this picture of her greeting her friends out of the range where she could see us. ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060011

Next we went to Kaylen's ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060012 grandparents house, so that Jane and Kaylen ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060013 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060014 could walk to school together keeping up their tradition.

Finally, Benjamin ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060015 made his way down the driveway to the bus stop where the Klockenbrink's had brought a cooler with champagne and more mundane treats ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060016 which amused John Shea ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060017 who had gotten cookies for Emily ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060018 to bring. The kids ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060019 went off to resume digging the hole they left last year as Carol Mason ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060020 took a point of John and Tony that probably looked like this. ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060021

The next day I went to my office and found Michele and Bernie there ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060022 so I took this picture of Bernie ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060023 suitable for framing before this man arrived ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060024 to do Pequod deliveries and Michelle Christy ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060025 ../../../Sabbat/09.06.01FirstDayofSchool//P9060026 came to discuss business matters.
