Times a Goin'

School has started, and I haven't posted pics yet. Let's see,the countdown to the wedding is two weeks, Steve and Katie I doubt are as nervous as I am LOL My classes are ok. One class is called The exceptional learner which is a requirement for the degree. It is a class that tells teachers about special needs and gifted and talented. I feel like the spy, a parent of a SPED kid but no one knows...yet :D Maria has taken to first grade like a fish to water, see all those tears months before were wasted! Matthew is happy to be in structure again. His only deal lately is sleep. He wakes often in the night requiring me to get up and go to his bed for some time. The other night, it was 4 times, and Ben wake once so that made 5 times in one night. We're trying different things, but this has been going on since around the time Benjamin was born. I did read online that sleep troubles in older autistic kids is common, is he getting "older" already?
We had our photo shoot with Erin Bell, wow how fun! Well, it was fun afterwards :) It was the most humid day Sunday. So Matthew has wet hair in half the shots I am sure. I'd love to pick her brain on how she shoots and all that. Can't wait to see the proofs, man oh man I can't wait! 10 days she said, hopefully not longer than that. She was super cool and I am sure we'll be seeing her again. The kids loved her!!
I took an opportunity to shoot Benjamin in the tea cup one last time. THere are only so many days left that I can have him outside naked for pics. He was trying to eat grass as usual, not a very cooperative model anymore these days, but I think I got a couple of good ones. What I would love to learn is how to post process my pics; they are missing that extra wow :( When I am done with my degree and have extra money for classes and the latest Photoshop program..and then my photo subjects will be gone :( Well, anyway, more important things to do in life I guess.
Here are the kids on the first day of school and here is my cup o' ben.

You take such awesome pictures! That tea cup is just adorable... and the one a few posts down, where he has the spoon in his hand and he's so chubby, is my favorite!
