From the NICU to the pageants!

While sitting in the NICU all day with baby James, never did I imagine he would ever get the chance to compete in a baby pageant. Well, this past Saturday, Gamma (Grandma) and I put a suit on our little guy, packed him up and took him to his first pageant.

How did he do? Take a look for yourself...

He won best hair, best attire and was 2nd runner up in the main competition. Our baby boy is on his way to the Mid-Atlantic finals!

Jay and I have not decided if we are going to actually enter him in the next pageant as it is very expensive and well, we don't want it to go to his head. Next thing you know he will be bossing us around and demanding we get his onesies from Macy's instead of Wal-Mart. Plus it takes a lot out of a guy.

The down side of pageantry  =)

You could say that Baby James is still feeling well and to the best of our knowledge he is still recovering more and more each day. James has an appointment on the 18th so please send extra prayers for normal kidney function levels. And while you are sending prayers his way, please include my Aunt Katie, Uncle Keith and my cousins Sharon, Sara and Stephanie. They had a barn fire and lost several animals, farm equipment and most sadly all of Stephanie's personal belongings. This is a very sad and tragic time and they need all of the love and prayers you can send their way. Thank you.

Be sure to check back after the 18th for an update of James' levels. And Blessings and Prayers to all.
