Millie's Reaction.

By -
The girls were out swimming in the pool this evening while I was cooking dinner.

I told them when it was time to get out and to go and get changed for church.

I noticed something small and red on Millie's face.

A few minutes later,

It is even bigger.

Millie? Did you burn your face?

Millie: No.

Did something bite you? Did you fall?

Millie: No. What is the matter?

There is something on your face. It looks kind of like a burn.


I have no idea what was happening, but it was not hurting her, but it just kept getting bigger and bigger.

By the time I got her benadryl, the redness was getting all the way to her mouth, down her chin.

I gave her benadryl.


15 minutes later. It looks like this.

At church, I spoke with Liz, the kids choir director and a nurse.

She says it is definitely an allergic reaction and asks me how much benadryl I gave her.

I showed her.

We think this was a reaction to a mosquito bite.

I hope this is not how she reacts every time she is bit by a mosquito.

She has never done that before, so it was really shocking to me.

Liz told me to give her more bendaryl at bedtime, but Millie was already so tired and her face looked completely normal to me.

I'm going to check on her before I go to sleep.

I have some more pictures to share with you from yesterday.


I love this photo Mrs Kathy took (Millie's teacher last year).


Millie at school today. She wore her new Anna dress that Autumn gave her for her graduation gift.


My very own Anna and Elsa.


A silly photo of Autumn from the graduation.


Millie and Eli (Millie loves Eli, but Eli loves Millie too).

Millie told me when she saw this picture of the two of them that they looked married.

HUSH your mouth girl!!


Millie and Isaac.


Millie and Douglas (this is the boy Millie will count for).

Millie loves Douglas too, but I'm not so sure the feeling is mutual.

I think Millie bosses him around and he does what she says.

This Douglas reminds me of someone I know....


Millie and Mrs Keri.

Millie is already talking about missing Mrs Keri.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Millie.


Our garden lights.

The girls love them.

OK, that is all I have for you tonight.

Tomorrow is going to be a little hectic.

I probably won't be near my phone in the morning.

I sent you an email about the Knox guy.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
