Within this past week two little girls have touched my belly and asked, “Baby?” No, no baby. Enough is enough. How embarrassing.

My favorite place to be in the whole world is hidden inside of the hammock on my aunt and uncle’s farm in Oregon, reading a book and eating berries picked from their raspberry bushes. Nothing tops that sort of simple beauty.
I’ve been babysitting once a week at the local church for 5-10 kids at a time. It’s pretty fun, but CRAZY! Also, a bunch of my friends are having babies, so I have little cheeks to pinch left and right.
