Poor Maddox! This is what happens when a mosquito bites him. The actual bite occurred right over the right eyebrow. This picture was taken at the worst of it all, which was TWO days later! (Approx. 30-40 hrs later.) Currently he has another bite on the side of his face near the temple, and there is an area of about 3 inches in diameter that is just swollen. The mosquitos are so bad. It only takes one and they get to him before I know they're out yet. We had been really enjoying the evenings, but I'll have to find something to use to repel the mosquitoes before we can be out at dusk again!
Here is Lacey at Lake Somerville. All 6 of us went camping with the cub scout pack. The first night it poured down rain. Our tent held up very well, but others were not so fortunate. We took in some water along any edges that were being touched by coolers, etc, and there was a slight misting from the top. Since Lacey and Maddox slept through it, however, we just stayed put. It was just wonderful to be out in otherwise great weather, spending time with the family.
Here is Maddox hunting eggs. He was just so cute!
It's too bad this is a fuzzy pic, but this is Maddox's hand holding a screw for me so that I could drill it into the deck. I pre-drilled the holes and he would come along with a screw and hold it in place for me. :o)
