The Bad Pants Open Fashion Show

The boys got a chance to be a part of a wonderful event last week, the Bad Pants Open Fashion Show.

This event is a promotional event to publicize the Bad Pants Open which is a golf tournament where the proceeds benefit the NICU at Texas Children's Hospital. We have gotten to spread the word about TTTS so much, but that was only half of the battle. The boys were still born very prematurely, at 32 weeks, and still needed much care and assistance to make sure that they were healthy.


The NICU at TCH is a wonderful place. It is the hardest thing in the world to leave your precious babies every night in the care of someone else. But I was able to do so with confidence knowing they had the best possible care.


The BPO Fashion Show happened last week and local celebrities were invited to sport some bad pants while walking the cat walk with NICU graduates. It was also hosted by Dr. Jennifer Arnold who is a neonatologist at TCH as well as the star of a TLC reality show called, The Little Couple.

The boys got to walk down with reporters for our local NBC and CBS stations. We also got to meet Dr. Arnold.

Here are some pictures from the day.
The whole group:

With Dr. Arnold - and yes they are crying, they were SO tired!


It's always a good thing to be reminded of where you come from. The boys have come along way. We got see some familiar faces of other babies who were in the NICU with the boys, and of course friends from TCH.

Also, if you live in the Houston area, you really should consider being apart of the tournament. It's in October...here is the link to it: http://waystogive.texaschildrens.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=666
