i didn’t get a weekend post written out last night, as some lower back pain sent me to bed early and drained. to be honest, i was wondering if it was going to progress to some early labor but i woke up this morning still full-bellied, if not fully rested.

for midsummer’s weekend we:

took in a show downtown while darla played in the fountains,

walked down the street for a family breakfast date

and i got to gaze at my handsome husband over diner coffee.

darla, the bump and i attended the pride festivities.

and darla was given a rainbow hair extension, which rocked her world.

we made balloon animals

and picked up a local themed onesie for bebe

and other than that we just hung around our house and darla stalked the neighbors…

solstice comes around every year and i always tell myself i’m going to have something appropriate planned for the next one. i love summer solstice. it really does feel like there is something special in the air on the first eve of summer. but it came and went again this year without anything special going on for our crew.

maybe next year i will have more energy. maybe next year i will have more time. maybe next year i will have been able to have spent more time fostering relationships and friendships so as to have friends that might actually want to spend summer solstice with us. what do you think? do you think these are realistic goals for a woman about to have a baby?

*anyway, i hope you spent your solstice out under the stars. good luck with your first full week of summer*
