It was Suzanne's birthday, so just as we have done in

2003
2000
and many years when we took no pictures, we celebrated. Jane IMG_0936 Suzanne IMG_0937 Ben IMG_0938 and I IMG_0939 enjoyed the shakers IMG_0940 and bread IMG_0941 at Big Fish as the wine IMG_0942 came with salad IMG_0943 and crumblies IMG_0944 and Suzanne's fish IMG_0945 and Jane's chicken Caesar IMG_0946 accompanied Ben's burger IMG_0947 and my pizza IMG_0948 as the waitress IMG_0949 showed the menu IMG_0950 IMG_0951 but not herself.

As the meal progressed, we took more family photos of Jane IMG_0952 IMG_0953 Suzanne IMG_0954 IMG_0955 Ben's head IMG_0956 and Jane IMG_0957 before capturing Ben IMG_0958 and doing a number of self portraits IMG_0959 IMG_0960 IMG_0961 as dessert IMG_0962 and ice cream IMG_0963 arrived and the Big Fish IMG_0964 excited Ben IMG_0965 Jane IMG_0966 and Suzanne IMG_0967 not to mention this self portrait IMG_0968 as we then went to the movie IMG_0969 where after some bumbling IMG_0970 we found Lu and Weiss IMG_0971 and so called it a celebration.

Then, it was back to work with people who were not invited to Suzanne's birthday party. On June 29, I met with Scott Willett of HR IMG_0972 and then on June 30, I welcomed new chairs -- Nancy Bermeo (acting in Politics), IMG_0973 Lynn Enquist (Molecular Biology) IMG_0974 and Claudia Johnson (English) IMG_0975 before their terms began.
