Southern summer teeth

Last week Seth finally got his wisdom teeth pulled, which must not have been very pleasant given that he is older and they were impacted. Once the teeth fully form and anchor into the bone sometime in a person's 20s or 30s, it makes the teeth harder to remove. It has been over a week and the poor guy's jaw still hurts, though mostly when he eats or talks for very long. I feel lucky that mine popped out easily, and after the anesthesia wore off I felt no pain--I could even eat solid foods by the next day. Of course, I was also 14 years younger than him.

Seth and I flew out to Raleigh on Tuesday. Here we can experience a true southern summer. That is all I will say about that. It will be good, though, to see a few friends while we are here, and hopefully pay a visit to Chapel Hill. Mom, Seth, and I went out to the newly renovated North Carolina Museum of Art this afternoon, which was actually really impressive. It was well laid-out and had a good selection of works. Since it is nice and close we will certainly have to go back again soon!

The biggest downside to being in NC must be that we are missing Lorenzo; since we flew out here we asked Seth's parents to watch him for us. The only other time we have asked someone to watch him was when we went to Philadelphia for a long weekend back in November. At least we know he is in good hands with 'grandma' and 'grandpa'!
