Little Toot!

For those of you who know me you also know who lil' toot is. For those of you that don't, lil' toot is my daughter Reagan. Reagan just graduated from pre-school this May and will be going to Kindergarden next year. How time flies! Reagan has had many different nick names and I thought I would humor you with some of them. "Toot" is the most popular and has many different forms. There is toot-magroot, tooter and toot-magroot-mascoot. My favorite nickname is "little" this not only applies to Reagan but Erica as well. "Mommy mo' precious" is one I like to use when we are snuggling or I am trying to irritate her. There is also a variation of this name and that is mommy mo pecky.

I can't really explain the origins of these names. They don't have a background story. But what I love is that she knows when I call her toot it is with all the love in the world. She is my lil toot and I am so proud of her.

Yeah, I know it's June...but cut me some slack we have so busy that I am finally getting around to posting our photos from the track. I haven't always lived in Indianapolis and to be honest I don't ever remember caring about the Indy 500 before I lived here. However that all changed when I made Indy my home. Who new I would become a race fan? There is something about the brew-ha-ha that surrounds the race that is so exciting. If you have never been to the track I highly recommend it. However, before you endure the heat, the crowd, the rain delays and the noise you have to prepare yourself. Before my first race I was schooled on the history of the track, the field and the rules of the race. It was a little boring but once I was at the track I was glad I knew what the heck was going on. There is more to it than cars going around in a circle. The only thing depressing about June is that May is over and it will be another 12 months before I hear the roar of the race cars. Boo hoo.

Beautiful Day, Beautiful Wedding

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Thomas on her wedding day at the First Baptist Church and the Marriott North. It was such a beautiful day and they are such a great couple that the honor was all mine. Nathaniel Edmunds was the photographer of the event and as usual we had a great time together. Here are some great shots that he has graciously allowed me to use. At the reception Michelle had place little cameras on each table in hopes that guests would take candid shots. Well...as the evening moved along and guests were enjoying the DJ Krista Lee, Nathan and I went around to the tables and as I took candid shots with Michelle's cameras he came in behind me and snapped some great shots. We had alot of fun!!
