Summer!

39 weeks and it seems like everyone is on baby watch.  Everyone I call or text seems certain that it must be a labor announcement, but, actually, this baby boy seems rather content to stay put for a while. 

I stole this from Jake's snapchat.

So far, I don't mind him hanging around a little longer.  Now that it's summer, Mickey and I are glad to have some free time to check a few more things off our list, enjoy the beautiful weather, and spend time together as a couple.  Plus, I'm not feeling too miserable...yet.

Happy Mother's Day!

Our summer fun has been off to a great start: grilling out to (finally) celebrate Mother's Day with my mom, checking out Forest Park for a long walk and picnic, and plenty of walks through our new, wonderful neighborhood.  We feel so lucky to be so close to Tilles and Hanley Parks and visit almost daily.

We are sticking to our real food philosophy pretty well, and even kept it up on our picnic.  Lunch consisted of sandwiches (turkey for Mickey, peanut butter with chia, flax and some shaved coconut for me), cheese, fruit, an avocado because I'm addicted, and the best snack ever: ants on a log.  Mickey even created a new version of the old staple: roaches on a log made with dates--my other new addiction.

Best snack EVER.

They say that walking is good for positioning the baby and makes for an easier labor--and I sure hope they're right!  Whether it helps with labor or not, though, walking is a great family activity that we are excited to keep up once the baby arrives.  Scarlett is pumped, to say the least.

Scarlett loves walks...and picnics.
