Josh, Lindsay, and Mackenzie

Well, last weekend was a big weekend for us all.  Friday I flew to Portland, OR to see my longtime friend Liz get married.   Her wedding was beautiful and seemed to be more a gift to all of us than it was something for them.  It was PERFECT for the people that they are and was a wonderful way to start their new life together.

The night before I left, Mack got her second cold.  She caught this from her daddy.  She was up all night and eventually I just slept in her room and got up every half hour when she couldn't breathe.  Subsequently, as I slept on my flight to San Fran Josh took the day off to take Mack to the doctor.  She had a cold and what appeared to be the potential for an ear infection.  Oh yeah, and two teeth were just about to come in.  So, Josh got the pleasure of dealing with a sick and cranky baby all weekend.

Saturday during the reception, I finally succumbed to the same plague Mack had.  I took an earlier flight home on Sunday so I could relieve Josh so he could fly to NC for work.  I was sick as a dog, Mack was getting over her cold, and her first tooth broke through.  She seemed totally indifferent to the tooth though.  There was no blood and she didn't mind anyone touching it.  She simply chews on her fingers using her side gums now.

Almost a week later we have our second tooth broken through (these are the bottom two front teeth) and she is no worse for the wear.  She's over the cold, has two new chompers, and now I have little baby teeth impressions on my index finger.  :)  It's been a good week!
