Contest

5 Minutes for Mom is hosting quite a bit of giveaways right now in celebration of the 4th of July. This one in particular is for a set of Mommy calling cards. I've heard of these before and keep having desire to make my own, but haven't found the time. Basically what they are, are business cards designed specifically for moms. You hand them out at your kids activities.

Seth's Birthday Pics

Finally, they're here. Seth's second birthday.

The big two-year old:

Some of the guests:

Sierra was able to come for the party. She's my cousin's daughter. We haven't seen her in over a year and a half. Notice her Mickey mouse ears, Seth's theme:
Doesn't the cake look just like Mickey Mouse?? Well, I tried as best as I could. Sierra's mom, Helene, my cousie-wusie, painted his face for me. It was an ice cream cake, so we didn't have much time to work with:

Quick Update

One of these days I'll get Seth's birthday pics posted. In the mean time I just wanted to give an update on our situation. Tabitha has been fighting a cold. Her colds lead to horrible coughing/wheezing. This particular bout started last Wednesday night. Her wheezing didn't go away with the asthma medication and her fever stayed, so I'm now treating her with an antibiotic given normally for pneumonia. This is the ninth time she has been sick in the past year. I feel so bad for her. She is really tired from taking all the medication she is always given and her body is worn out from the many hours up in the middle of the night coughing.

If you think of us, pray for us. For Tabitha's health and for Enoch and I to have wisdom as to how to prevent this in the future. Thanks. Any advice is welcome at this point.
