giddy is me this week...and it is because of this book. Bloom by kelle hampton (kelle is a mama to two beautiful girls and has a blog enjoying the small things that i enjoy reading. Bloom is a memoir that is written with such breath taking honesty on the journey kelle goes through the moment her sweet daughter nella is born and is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Her writing is so real and so honest and so beautiful)
my mom bought me this book for our camping trip. a book i've been wanting to read for months now! guys, i was so excited when she gave it to me that i almost peed my pants...amost. so i'm trying not to read it before our trip... but....ahem. i'm already almost half way through. i think i just might read it again. and again. i love it that much. when i read it, i feel as though i'm right there with her, like we are old friends i'm i'm listening to her share one of the most beautiful stories i've ever heard. there are people in life that i think i'd die if i met. just pass out with happiness.. do you have those people? i think she's one of those people. i think i've cried almost every page of this book! sigh. i love reading a good book. i love deep, beautiful writing. and she has it. this book makes my heart grow a little warmer every time i open it up and turn the page. it's a keeper! oh how i love good books, truly, i do.
there are clumsy children. and then there are clumsy children. i have a very clumsy child. he literally ran smack dab in the wall yesterday. full on. but-no tears. for the amount of falling and walking into things he does he really doesn't cry about it. the only thing he wanted was a band aid. so i obliged.
one more day. one more day :) packing, cleaning, baking, preparing for a week of family time. i'm just as giddy about that as i am about my new book.
happy almost friday!
