it's a BOY

today nathan & amy found out that they are having a BOY in december. we are all so excited and slightly surprised, but can't wait for the little man to make his appearance. hill boys have a pretty great track record and so the world will surely be a better place once this fella arrives.

aunt lulu cannot wait to hang out with him!

on a different note, life is so busy this week. i am moving to a new house and i'm slightly overwhelmed by the boxes, but excited for a new season...pictures to come :)

today i have found the beauty in the chaos and hopefully tomorrow i'll do the same. may the words of shauna niequist from one of my favorite book, cold tangerines, encourage you today:

"but this is what i'm finding, in glimpses and flashes: this is it. this is it, in the best possible way. that thing i'm waiting for, for that adventure, that movie-score-worthy experience unfolding gracefully. this is it. normal, daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, in our houses and apartments, in our beds and at our dinner tables, in our dreams and prayers and fights and secrets--this pedestrian life is the most precious thing any of us will ever experience."-cold tangerines

go eat a cold tangerine & take a break from the chaos for a second.
