This is about a week in our life.
It started on Monday with dinner
IMG_0442
IMG_0443
with Ben
IMG_0444
Jane
IMG_0445
and Suzanne
IMG_0446
as we enjoyed the fruit
IMG_0447
and salad
IMG_0448
plates.
On Wednesday, I met with Tom Roche
IMG_0449
of the English Department and Bob Durkee
IMG_0450
who is Vice President for Public Relations.
On Thursday, I met with JoAnn Mitchell and Steven Gill
IMG_0451
who are the vice provosts who look after the university's money.
Friday morning, Ben made this face
IMG_0452
before heading off to camp maybe because he knew about
the sleeping 15 year olds
IMG_0453
Ned
IMG_0454
Kevin
IMG_0455
Jane
IMG_0456
and Kaylen
IMG_0457
who were in our family room having stayed up all night to
prove that they could.
Friday night began the Albemarle concert sequence. We went to All
Saints Church
and joined the crowds
IMG_0458
waiting to go in for the musicianship training concert.
Saturday's concert was at the chapel at the Lawrenceville School
IMG_0459
and Jane and Sarah
IMG_0460
IMG_0461
were ready as was Suzanne
IMG_0462
as the choir was there
IMG_0463
and sang away
IMG_0464
IMG_0465
in the heat and humidity.
Afterwards, we found Ben and Nate
IMG_0466
on the lawn wrestling
IMG_0467
and hugging
IMG_0468
and pulling each other fro
IMG_0469
and to
IMG_0470
as Nate got together with his mother and sister
IMG_0471
and Ben
IMG_0472
lifted his head
IMG_0473
to get in a few family photos
IMG_0474
IMG_0475
IMG_0476
before he decided
IMG_0477
to go back to Nate
IMG_0478
so Laura
IMG_0479
could take a few pictures before they got back to action
IMG_0480
IMG_0481
which amused Suzanne, Sarah and Jane
IMG_0482
IMG_0483
who were eventually joined by Ben looking down
IMG_0484
then up
IMG_0485
IMG_0486
and then almost at the camera
IMG_0487
which caused Suzanne and Laura
IMG_0488
to make plans
IMG_0489
and Ben, Nate and Daniel Sturm
IMG_0490
IMG_0491
posed for a few before starting their dance
IMG_0492
IMG_0493
as Suzanne
IMG_0494
and Paul Starr
IMG_0495
watched.
Next the boys did their dance
IMG_0496
IMG_0497
IMG_0498
and we drove on back to Albemarle to search through the
god's eyes
IMG_0499
IMG_0500
until we could find Benjamin's
IMG_0501
as Nate showed off his sculpture
IMG_0502
and we decided to call it a successful year at Albemarle.
As the boys were finishing lunch
IMG_0503
IMG_0504
IMG_0505
Suzanne gathered together the library books
IMG_0506
to give us
IMG_0507
IMG_0508
so Jane and I could go bring Sarah her shoes
IMG_0509
at the MCUDL
IMG_0510
IMG_0511
fields where the banner
IMG_0512
caused us to take even more pictures
IMG_0513
IMG_0514
of the signs.
Next we went to get gas
IMG_0515
and drove down Nassau Street until these people pulled out
IMG_0516
so that we could park for CVS
IMG_0517
and buy gum
IMG_0518
since Jane's photos were not done. After paying for the gum
IMG_0519
we went to the library
IMG_0520
and then to Blue Mountain
IMG_0521
to look at the shoes
IMG_0522
until this sales person
IMG_0523
found the right shoes
IMG_0524
for Jane.
