Skateboard cake!

Thing 2 is turning 7 on Thursday, so we had his party this past weekend--just a few friends and their moms. And a skateboard cake! I found the instructions on Family Fun's website; it's a little time-consuming but very straightforward.























I think he likes this present, don't you?

Breathing Easier

My older son has asthma. In the past, it's been scary, monthly ER-visit, inhaled-steroids-twice-a-day, rescue inhaler, don't-even-think-about-coming-near-him-with-a-cat-or-dog, JUST-BREATHE-ALREADY asthma.




Today, at his latest appointment with the fabulous Dr. Nan, his lung function is the best it's ever been, and he's now off the steroids unless he has a virus. And this mommy is also breathing a little easier.
