Well Andy and I had out last big date befoe the baby comes. We went to San Francisco to the Museum of Modern Art to view the Rineke Dijkstra photography exhibit. She is an up and coming photographer who (and I quote the MOMA here), "In works of classical simplicity and remarkable psychological depth, Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra presents a contemporary take on the genre of portraiture. Whether adolescents, soldiers, or new mothers, Dijkstra is fascinated by people in states of significant transition. Her sensitive pictures generate a monumental sense of presence, not only in how they record the details of an individual's physical appearance, but also in how they illuminate subtly shifting inner states." I couldn't say it any better and we quite enjoyed it. Here is a picture of a bull fighter just seconds after leaving the ring and the next is of a teenage girl at the beach.

After the MOMA we then went to the Butterfly Restaurant and had a wonderful dinner and came home and watched a movie. All in all it was a wonderful day and I am sure a day we have taken for granted! Bottom line is we love each other and although we are so excited to be parents we know we will probably miss the days where we could just pick up and go whenever we felt like it!
