So back in March, Alexander got his photo taken with a photographer that sponsors the Down Syndrome Group of Greater St Louis. She was having FREE photo shoots - for the 2010 calendar that our organization puts out. So of course I signed up - they said free! So after the photo shoot at the Muny she asked if it was okay to put his photos in a contest. I was like yeah sure thinking that it wasn't a big deal. So then in April, Nicole called and said he was a finalist for Round 2 but that there is 4 rounds and the results will be in July!
So I found the Professional Imaging Studio that she entered his photo with online and was ecstatic. So I have been keeping close tabs on what the other photos looked like. So today we found out that he was voted as a Honorable Mention and that he will receive $500. Also I found out through Nicole that he will get a 16x20 photo and that it will be given to the DSAGSL and hung up in their office. (To bad I won't get it)
Attached is the web address to check out all the winners!!!

On a side note - the little girl next to his photo is his friend Taylor. We met the day of the photo shoot and she is adorable!!!!
