Baby Mine

It doesn't matter how old your kids are....they will ALWAYS be your babies.  Our youngest, my "baby" Andrew, will be turning 17 next month.  He is such a joy in my life, and is such a good kid.  He's a normal teenager, but he really has a heart for the Lord; and tries so hard to live his life right in a way that is honoring to his Savior, Jesus Christ.  Well, my baby boy is really sick this week.  He has a terrible sinus infection and pharyngitis (throat infection), an inner ear infection, and air bubbles in his inner ear that are causing vertigo among other uncomfortable side effects.  He is miserable, and I hate seeing him in such pain.  I'd much rather be sick than to ever see my children suffer.  He's missing his hockey games, spending time with his friends, and being the crazy, energetic mood-setter around here.  I would greatly appreciate your prayers for my sweet son, Andrew.

All this talk about babies just to say that I was asked to make a baby card today for a friend who needs it for a baby shower this weekend.  I grabbed my Carta Bella Baby Mine collection and put this together.  I added some seam binding, stickers and chipboard from the Carta Bella line, baker's twine, a button, and a snippet of lace that's attached using my Tim Holtz mini stapler.

I'm making Andrew his favorite soup tonight, Chicken Tortilla Soup, sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese and topped with crispy tortilla strips.  YUM!  I hope between that and the four medications the doctor put him on yesterday, this gunk will be cleared up soon.  He really needs a good night's sleep.  Last night was a really rough one, and we all know that rest/sleep is so important when you're sick.  I really do appreciate your prayers for him.

I'm sharing this card here:
