blackberry pickin’ + 40 for 4th weekend, woo!

so, hey! i’ve never been 40 weeks pregnant before, but… to appropriately celebrate 4th of july weekend, baby boy decided to give me that honor! sooo, made it aaaall the way to 40 this weekend, despite so much anticipation for the past week now… and my, it feels… heavy!! 😉 soooooon enough, though, right! come on, come on little boy!

anyway, miss madd and i took a quick golf cart jaunt this weekend to see how many blackberries we could find near the river at the farm. it’s just a liiiiittle bit early for a whole bunch to be ripe yet, but it’s become one of my very fav summertime traditions, and i just couldn’t wait any longer! especially given how much fun we had with maddalena last year and the year before.

it was so wonderful to snag just a smidge of quality me + her time! she kept saying “this is so much fun!” and we came away with all the good and juicy blackberries we could find. i love her with every tiny piece of my everything, oh i do, i do, i do. and! we saw a tiiiiny baby skunk! second skunk i’ve seen this week on the farm, but this one was so so tiny. such cuddly looking stinkers! can we de-stink one, please? i would so snuggle!

and then, later that evening…

…a perfectly placed fireworks show for our porch-watching pleasure! absolutely perfect. 🙂

    Well look at her just posing away!!! I was a week late with David and became as my midwife liked to call it: prickly. It's July! It's hot! Get out! Maybe he will share David's birthday? Can you wait till the 11? No? 😉
