It's been quite a week.
On Saturday we joined a big gathering of family to celebrate my brother-in-law's 80th birthday. His kids and grandkids flew in or drove in from various parts of the country - including Seattle, Atlanta, and Texas. 9 of the 11 grandkids were there, and both great-grands. Dave's siblings and spouses were all there too, although his older brother is a county sheriff and got called out to an accident so he missed the hors d'oeuvres but made it back for supper. We had a really good time seeing so many people we love.
Monday evening was the final week of flag football for 2 of our grandsons. It was championship night for the league. Usually they play at the same place at 6:30 and 8:15 so we can catch both games by moving our lawn chairs. But the 4th grade teams played at 7:30 this week at the stadium in Sioux Falls shared by 1 high school and 1 small college. It was a beautiful chilly night with that full moon. We could watch the first half of Jack's game, then head to Riverdale Park a few miles away to catch the last half of Jonah's game.
Jack's team beat the #1 team 14-13 to win their bracket championship. That would be Jack in the back row doing bunny ears over his teammates. These boys have had a fun season. I stole this photo off my SIL's Facebook page.
Jonah's game started late so we only missed a couple of minutes. Early in the second half Jonah snagged an interception and turned to run. The grass was wet and he slipped, immediately grabbing his ankle. His dad (and coach) carried him off the field, and the league nurse came to check him out. He has a hairline fracture. This wasn't how he hoped to end the season.
Some very exciting mail showed up on Tuesday. My alma mater finally agreed to licensing to produce Jackrabbit themed fabrics. I received the 2 yards of this print that I had pre-ordered a few months ago. I'm not sure what it will become, but I'm tickled to have it.
And I finished the 16 Log Cabin blocks for the Cactus in the Cabin quilt. Next I'll begin working on the 20 cactus blocks.

Sorry your GS has a fracture, but at least he was playing all season instead of it happening in the beginning. So nice you get to see lots of sports that your grands are in.
How wonderful to have the family come together to celebrate a milestone birthday! Congrats to the kids on their football season. I can imagine making curtains for the powder room out of that Jackrabbit print!
Those events when the whole family get together are so precious for far flung families. Hope that Jonah is healing well and there aren't any complications. Happy stitching this week.
Sounds like a great birthday gathering!!!
