Special Kids Photography

As I have mentioned previously in my blog, I LOVE special kids photography. It combines my love of kids, especially special kids, with my love of photography. How could you go wrong?!?!?!
I've been working on usual my end of the school year clean up and organize, and that includes photos I've taken at school all year long. I came across these photos taken last month, and I realized that I never posted any!
I just had to show you a couple of these...they're too sweet not to share!

Peace

These flowers were in a field next to the school....gorgeous!!

And a couple of my boys in the field. Aren't they cool?

I'm giving up on the photo a day thing...I just can't keep up...hopefully I'll restart it soon, but never fear, I'll still be posting at least 3 or 4 days a week :-)

And on that note...it's sneak peek time!!!
Do you remember this family a few months ago??

Day 250
May 22, 2008

Oh my goodness! My baby just graduated from preschool!
I can't believe how fast the past five years have gone. He's becoming a little man in front of our very eyes!
Ok...I won't sob...I promise...but I do have a funny story!
When Alex was taking a shower before graduation tonight, he called me into the bathroom and said, "Momma! I need my shaving cream!"
Ok...how long was I in the coma? LOL
Of course, he meant his play shaving cream to go with his toy razor...but really, do you think I'll have the same story 13 years from now when he graduates highschool?
LOL

Ok..enough blabber, on with the photos!
