Drumstick Dash

Tim and I ran in our first Drumstick Dash this morning. It is a huge (9,500) race around Broad Ripple to raise money for Wheeler Mission. Since Tim and I decided about 2 1/2 weeks ago to sign up we opted to just do the short 2.3 mile course instead of the full 4.5.

It was crazy to see the streets we use everyday completely packed with runners. It never really thinned out and I spent most of my effort trying not to run into anyone. Tim however spent most of his energy yelling out "Happy Thanksgiving", "YMCA", and random words of encouragement.

Unfortunately I totally goofed and apparently held down a button too long on my watch and so we can only guess what our time was. We were happy to finish, support a good cause and be out with our community this morning. Special props to our friends, Jenny, Kevin and Sarah who ran the 4.5 mile course today. (because a post needs a photo, I took one self timer pic on our way out the door, you can see my enthusiasm)

Now to feast and be thankful with family. Happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome Sweet Evelyn: Newborn Goodness

My friend Lindsay, who was recently seen on the blog as the adorable pregnant lady, recently welcomed her sweet daughter Evelyn to the world. Her sweetness was born on November 9th. I love photographing new parents, there is such a glow to them and they are full of love. Lindsay and Matt are no exception. Evelyn has no doubt captured their hearts and changed their world.

As another joyous note, Rachael and Billy, who was the other maternity shoot I did a few weeks back, just welcomed Lizzie into the world yesterday! Yeah, for sweet, precious baby girls!

Cooper : Totally Two, Totally Boy

Cooper enjoyed showing me all his favorite things at home, reading Elmo books, playing basketball with dad, his dog Oscar, swinging, and playing in piles of leaves. Cooper is lucky to have some awesome parents, George and Erin. I love that these pictures capture what being two for a little boy is all about.
