Weekend Reading: June 22, 2013

We’ve had absolutely perfect weather this week (other than the rain on Tuesday that left our seven-year-old and me dripping wet on our Starbucks date!). The sun has been shining, but it’s almost cool in the shade, and the girls have been spending hours and hours and hours outside, especially in the evening hours.
For my part, I’m still hiding inside due to insane allergies, but I think, just maybe, we might be coming to the end of those, as they weren’t nearly as severe this week as they’ve been!
In baby news, Jackson has been kicking up a storm, and I absolutely love it. Even though this pregnancy has been hard physically in many ways and this isn’t exactly my first go around, I can’t get over the miracle of a baby…in my belly! Right on par with the baby kicks are the moments when our three-year-old will randomly put her lips on my belly and say in the sweetest voice, “I wove you so much, Jackson!” ♥
