Our Stars

A month ago, The Husband and I watched the movie The Fault in our Stars.
Great movie. I'll watch it again. 
Two days ago, I started reading the book The Fault in our Stars. I'm two chapters from the end, and I'm already thinking about reading it again. I want my own copy (I'm reading the library's copy that I had to wait months for) that I can highlight and make notes in.
 
Because, y'all. 
This. Book. Is. Allkindsofamazing. 

It's one of the funniest, most-insightful, raw, and just beautiful books I've ever read. 

(Jack and I are looking out the window as I type, and the fall leaves are so pretty...)

I've giggled out loud and cried, and all I keep thinking is that I wish I were reading this with someone, so we could laugh and smile and sigh at the same moments. I'm going to beg The Husband to let me read it out loud to him when I start over :). 
If you haven't read it, do it! Go now. I'll wait. 
I have so many quotes I want to pour over again and again and write down and memorize and place on sticky notes around the house. Do you have a favorite? Or five?

And just because. 
This boy. He keeps signing "all done", and I keep taking his picture :)

And this girl.

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting.

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

A Little Revealing

**Hehehehe. My blog post title made me giggle.** If you stayed tuned and saw on FB that we'd be announcing this afternoon, then you're in luck.  So, without further adieu, Jack and Ella will be doing the honors.  Now, go on ahead and post in the comments what you guessed :) I was right early on but then changed my mind, so any guess was a good one!
