proud mama

this was suppose to be a nice profile picture of ham. i loved the lighting and thought this would be perfect, wouldn't get too much detail of his face, just a nice profile but obviously ham doesn't share my vision. he gave me his usual pose once he saw what i was doing. i still love the picture and i like his hand by his knee. very elegant fingers but don't tell him i said that. we got his school pictures back yesterday and they are going back to them. he looks constipated and the background is purple instead of grey. he doesn't want to take time out of his classes for re-picture day which i totally understand plus i want to take his picture instead. he agreed but only if they are taken inside the house. heaven forbid anyone sees him getting his picture taken outside let alone by his *gasp* mom of all people!

we went to parent teacher conference last night and got the report we knew we would be getting. all of his teachers love having him in their class and he's doing well with everything. he's getting (4) A's and (1) B+. he's got a heavy course load too and he's also in the honors program. chemistry, algebraII (honors), us history (honors) and two engineering/architecture courses. i really couldn't be more proud.
