It's Gonna Be a Long One

I'm having the feeling it's going to be a long week.

Ben will be gone Wednesday through Friday.  Kanalu has been staying with us since last week, and the boy who sits next to him in school went home sick today.  So did Kanalu.  Last week, that other boy's sister was throwing up.  Kanalu doesn't look so good.  Joey, Andrew, and Kanalu have been sharing a room.  It's going to be a long week.

I have been very pleased to get more notes from Grace lately.  Here's one:

Translation: Hi.  This is Grace.  I know Matthew is sick.  From, Grace.

She wrote one to Emma:

EMMASOHALRUDOOENRUDGRATFRAMMGRACE


Translation: Emma, so how are you doing? Are you doing great? From, Grace

There's also this one I found:

Translation: Hi.  This is Grace.  I know you like me, Dad.

I've been taking a photography class on Tuesday nights.  It's been very educational, and I have to admit: it's kind of fun to have homework.  This kind of homework, anyway.  All I have to do is take pictures.  Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Assignment: Stop something in motion


Assignment: Photograph something outside at night:



Assignment: Photograph something with a narrow depth of field:

I think I'll make a binder.  I like making binders.  I wonder what next week's assignments will be?
