Two bottom teeth and my first cold

Well, as most of you know, Asher & I opted to stay in PA rather than venture to TX this week with all the threats of the swine flu going around. I still think it was the best decision even though the threats don't seem to be as bad now. Better safe than sorry. It turned out to be a good thing for other reasons too. Asher came down with a cold the day Matt left (Saturday).  Matt ended up being delayed for 2 hours at the airport and then had to circle around Dallas for almost an hour before landing due to the thunderstorms they were having. I was very thankful to not be on that flight with a sick boy trying to time take off and landings so he would eat something. He was not as interested in food being sick and all. Well much to my surprise today I felt he had cut two bottom teeth. I thought I felt something but then I was able to see them barely poking trough the gums on the bottom. He would have been miserable being carried around to and fro not feeling well. In the end, it all worked out as it should other than daddy got to miss out on all the fun. he really has not been too bad through the whole thing. A little more tired and clingy. An extra wake up at night but all in all - I think he has done great! He seems like he might be rounding the corner today. I have not had to come at him with the dreaded tissue as many times today! 

We sure missed seeing everyone though. Matt is trying to convince me to come back down over the 4th of July already. I really want to go to the beach though this summer. We have some really nice beaches within a reasonable driving distance from us. We'll see.
