I know everyone has been anxiously awaiting the news on whether or not Mommy's photos were selected to be part of the final Capture York book. Well, Mommy got a copy of the book yesterday and to her surprise............She had 11 photos published! Three photos were featured on a full page layout and 8 were part of the introductory collages to different chapters. The three full page photos were of tulips, me, and ME again!!! Her collage photos included more of me, Dallas, and a few random ones that were included in the everyday life chapter and the scapes of all sorts chapter.
If you thought that was awesome, wait to you read what else I am going to tell you. Mommy's black and white photo of me in my crib was selected as the People's Choice in the entire group of Friendly Faces submissions. Can you believe it!? She even gets a $100 gift card for this achievement. Mommy made me a star!!! I am going to be in coffee table books all over now! Another cool thing is that the book is actually being sold at the local Barnes and Noble stores in the area!
Mommy also wanted me to pass along her biggest thank you ever, to all those who supported her in this adventure. Mommy knows that your support helped her so much in the contest and she is very blessed to have such supporting friends and family. Thanks again!
Of course, Mommy wanted to take a few pictures of her photos to show you how they look in the book. I promise they look much better in the book. Oh, and there was a DVD included of selected photos and Mommy had a bunch more on it. She lost count after about 8 more of them.
Here is the cover of the book. It shows that the book is really a good quality book. Daddy was impressed with it!
Here is the first photo of me. At the bottom of each photo, there is a credit to the photographer and a title. 
This picture definitely looks better in the book than here. 
Here is the collage introduction to the Friendly Faces chapter. You can see me on the bottom row. Can you see me?
Here is big D's big moment to shine. He is featured right by the chapter title. 
Mommy had two photos on this page. The cherry blossoms right below the title and the blades of grass right beside the title are the ones she submitted.
Here is her last big photo of the book. This was a picture of tulips that she took in early spring. They are actually from our neighbor Linda's yard! How cool!
This is the last collage that we are part of in the book. As Daddy said, Mommy owns the bottom row with four of the photos. They are the first, second, third, and fifth! 
This is the page that tells the photos that won the awards for the chapters. Each chapter had an Editor's Choice and People's Choice award. We were the People's Choice for Friendly Faces.
More to come when Mommy gets back home from the clinic. I promise she has some really good photos of my Dad and I!

Why did I think this was a better idea than sleeping in my bed!?
Don't let the smile fool you......this was one of the few good moments today.
I never play with my toys in the appropriate fashion.
This would be why my hog was impounded around 2pm today!
I tried to convince Mom that I wasn't being a mischievous little boy.
There is no way that Mommy could stay mad at this little face!
You are looking at over $5k worth of medicine. 
In the box, there is 6 of these Humira Pens. Mommy has to do 4 on Day 1 (Tuesday) and 2 on Day 15. Fun times!
