Close-Ups

Tonight's photos include some of the close-ups of Melany's art pieces including her artist statement. I have tried to put the name of the piece and the medium that it was made of in the photo. Our Monday got off to a good start. Woody walked six miles this morning. He is gradually getting his walks back into his daily routine. He went to the chiropractor this morning. Later in the day he mowed a bit. I had school with Isaac, Elijah, Esther, Joy, and Graham. I started a bit early this morning and even managed to fit in listening to Abigail read part of her Social Studies lesson. I think that several of the classes ended a bit earlier than sometimes. Elijah was anxious to get back to playing ball with his daddy. Nathan was teaching him how to hit a ball with a bat and also how to throw the ball. Elijah has decided that he will be a Cardinal baseball player sometime in his future! Graham worked on his simple machine lessons. He finished making something from K'nex that represented the three different classes of levers. He took a picture of them so he can add the photo to his album. We even came upstairs and printed the picture so it will be ready to put in his notebook the next time he has his Grammy special school time. I ate lunch and then talked on the phone with a friend. While I was talking the mail arrived and a package that I was expecting arrived. It was a new rug to put on the floor in front of the kitchen sink. In order to put the rug down I had to sweep and mop the kitchen floor. I rested a bit after that and then tackled our supper. We had linguine and marinara sauce...such a simple sauce...not many ingredients...but oh, so good! Be sure to click on the pictures so you can see the details and be able to read Melany's artist statement.
