The story behind the picture...

Sorry to keep you all waiting! I'm sure the suspense must have been killing you. There were quite a few guesses as to why I had this picture taken...

But only one of you was right. If I was awarding a prize, it would have to go to Toni. I have no idea how you knew, but kudos to you! Yes, this picture was taken as a professional head shot for my little aspiring superstar! A couple of weeks ago Reagan stood on a stage in front of a theater full of people and sang her little heart out!

Our local Cancer Care Foundation hosted an American Idol night at the Wagon Wheel Theater. I know, I know she's a little young to be an American Idol. But, they had a special category just for the "future idols". Turns out she was the youngest one of the night and she had to go first! She sang Tomorrow from Annie and even though she forgot some of the words, she did amazing! I was just so proud that she had the courage to get up there and do it. I tell you this girl is not afraid of anything! She didn't raise the most money, but she was a winner in my book!

So, I have to give another little shout out to my friend Leah, who took the head shot. It was a whirlwind of events around here last month! We found out about the show on a Wednesday, auditioned that Thursday, and on Friday got the call that she had made the show! We had three weeks to get her ready for it! When they told me they needed a good picture of her I was afraid I would have to use her horrible school picture from this year. I called Leah and she came and took this photo on Saturday. I can't thank her enough!

So, this may have been the most exciting event of the month, but rest assured it was not the only event! I have many more pictures to post and stories to tell, so stay tuned!
