We spent the 4th of July at JW & Alli's house and had a really good time. Mike brought some water balloons and the adults probably had more fun than the kids did. JW even took a trip onto the roof to get Mike with the water hose. While we were outside I noticed a mosquito on Hannah's face just under her eye. I shooed him away and squished him, but apparently not soon enough. The next morning Hannah woke up with her eye red and swollen. She also has a bite on her calf that is puffy. The poor thing. She is also really sensitive to fire ants, and I don't even want to think about what would happen if she got stung by a bee or wasp. I've never seen anyone so sensitive to small insects.
And this is right after a couple of weeks ago Nikki woke up with some kind of a bite on her foot that caused swelling up past her ankle and started turning purple. She was limping on it whenever she tried to walk. JW gave her a shot of prednisone and it cleared up pretty quickly after that. But I was starting to get a little worried about it. I'm starting to think that North Carolina has some killer insects.

poor hannah. ian gets welts from mosquitos, too, but not quite that much....and usually they're on his back & legs. i have to coat him down with bug spray everytime he goes outside. but his skin is sensitive to that, so it burns him. so we have a dilema. i heard about these wristbands you can wear that have bug repellent. they sell them at cvs pharmacy. someone at church recommended them. i think i may try them.
i do think nc has lots of bugs...especially in the sandhills area. cory's from albertson & i think that's the buggiest place ever.
I've never heard of those wristbands before. At this point I'm willing to try anything. I have never been that sensitive to bugs, so to see such a big sore just makes me feel so sorry for her. And poor Ian -- skin that is sensitive to bites and bug spray. That has got to be no fun.
