Mini and the Melon

Mini loves summer because Mini LOVES fruit. She devoured this water melon today and you can tell how much she likes it by the size of her eyes. The melon started out about a big as her head and ended up mostly in her tummy.

Mini did RAGBRAI 2008 with a grrr and a smile! She took camping in a different town each night in stride, including a tornado evacuation, multiple hand-offs, car rides, swimming pool adventures, heat, rain, wind, loud trains all night long, music, and an abundance of corn and pork. Go Mini!

Mini and a Bottle of Wine - 36 Weeks!



Ok, so we skipped a week, but 36 is a good one! Mini's new favorite thing is to (literally) devour plums. It was pretty hard to get the wine bottle into the picture at all. Tomorrow Juliet turns 9 months and we go to the doc to get her new vitals...stay tuned for that. We're taking wagers on percentiles!

Mini gets her own bottle of wine!!!




Looks like the old 1980 Cab is finally going to get consumed! Mini has her own vintage now, care of Grandpa (biG) Joe DiStefano, who bottled a vintage in her honor on October 9, 2007 (coincidence?). A Zinfandel, which like Mini, is a bit young and sparky, but will hopefully mellow and get more sophisticated over time. Thanks grandpa!

Mini, ready to captain the next train on the tracks. She loves trains and wants everyone to vote YES for high speed rail in November.
