Two days of nice weather

It's been sunny and 60 degrees here for the past two days!! Woohoo! The kids and I had a lot of outside fun at Muddy and Guppy's house yesterday. Today the four of us played out back at our house. It was really great to get some fresh air and just run around.
Remember how I've said for a long time that Ben is going to be my "sick child?" Well yet again, a weird thing he is- eruption cysts. This happens when he's teething. Last month when the first bad molar started coming through, he had an evening where his mouth was bleeding, like really bleeding. The molar looked weird, his gum was all gross looking, etc. When he was sick I had the Ped look at it and she said, "It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it, more like it's just having a hard time coming through. He could have had an eruption cyst that would make it bleed like that." Well last night I looked in his mouth at the other side where his nasty molar is coming through- and lo and behold, he's got this flap on his gum. No big deal. As the night wore on, it got bigger and bigger. Overnight he woke up screaming in pain. I put Orajel on his gum and eventually he went back to sleep. When he got up this morning, the cyst is this huge blood filled thing on his gum. It's really gross looking. He doesn't seem bothered by it. Apparently it'll pop on its own and then go away. BLECH. Really gross.
You probably heard that JPMorgan helped bail out Bear Sterns on Friday. Well Brian was a part of that decision. Don't ask me the details, because I have no clue. Today he gets a phone call that someone else is going under and they need him in at 9am tomorrow to work on details. It's top secret. No one is saying who "it" is. He says with the market being what it is, these sorts of things could go on for 3-6 months! I hope he doesn't have to have these emergency meetings very often.
