Out of This World!

Lots going on behind the scenes here at our house.  The most difficult has been that our little nephew, who was just born a month ago today has been in the hospital in ICU with RSV.  I was really concerned, he's just so little and it feels like he's so fragile and then for him to be so sick....but it looks like he's improving and though he will be in the hospital for a while, the news is better now, he's been moved out of the PICU to a baby ward today.  We just love that little boy so much, and I'm so thankful that God is bringing healing to him.

Today I spent the day at the University here with our running teams from our Elementary School competing in the city wide Journal Games.  This was our middle son's last year on the team as next year he'll be in Junior High, and he was very blessed to be chosen as the anchor runner this year (they run 8 x 200 m relay).  This boy of ours was made to run, and he ran beautifully, even catching and passing another team.  We'll see if the team's time was enough to carry them on to the next round.  The girls team placed first in their heat - so they move on for sure.  Boy it's fun to see kids run!

This is him after his run, he gave it his all!  You can also see the mark on his eyebrow from hockey with his brother the other day (that's my boys!).  But as far as the running goes - it's really cool for them to experience something like this on this level.  They said 4000 kids will have run yesterday and today and being on such a big track at a University is just such a neat thing for them.  

So here's the card I made for my sweet runner...sorry this is a night picture and even my lights didn't  do the best job.  

Last month I was unbelievably blessed to win the PTI release contest...so all these gorgeous stamps arrived yesterday and I'm just giddy with all the possibilities.   This set is called Tiny Treats Birthday and it is SO adorable.  

I thought this totally suited celebrating his great run.  Colored with Copics, a little glitter pen on the stars and rocket trail.   Simple embellishing again with the tiles and twine because it's for my guy - though he'd still like most anything - he's such a sweetie about stuff like that.  His favourite color is red, so I think he'll like it.  

Ok, I'm exhausted from this day - and the cold I seem to have picked up.  I'll be back late Thursday night with a fun Flourishes Friday!
