This weekend we had some friends in town to celebrate J's birthday. There were a few nice cameras among the group, and while we were taking a walk down by the water, enjoying the late afternoon sunshine, my friend Matt suggested it might be fun to throw Mina up in the air and get a few good pictures of her. Which turned out to be one of the best ideas ever.
Thanks to Tom and Sam for taking these amazing shots.
Last week we took a one-night trip down to D.C. to attend a dinner being held to honor my parents, this year's recipients of Rosemont College's Cresset Award. Before we left to catch the train back on Thursday, my dad told me he had a present for me and pulled out a copy of Life & Style - the issue that featured celebrity "Pregnancy Diaries" on the cover.
I'm pretty sure he bought it for me because of the whole pregnancy thing, and not because of my obsessive love of celebrity gossip, but still, with encouragement, I figure the people closest to me just might start to realize that it doesn't take fancy gifts to win this girl's heart...
