Mosquito and an Owl



My poor child got a mosquito bite 2 days ago on the forehead. When he woke up this morning his eye is almost swollen shut. Last week he got a bite on his arm and his arm was swelled for 3 days. We live in the wrong city if Dieter is going to be allergic to mosquitos.

About the owl... We have been hearing scratching in our fireplace for a week or longer and couldn't see anything in there. Kimball finally opened the fireplace from the inside so what ever was scratching could fall down, and it was a big owl! I couldn't believe how big it was. We felt bad that it had been in there for so long so at 11:00 at night Kimball called animal control and took it to some place were they will nurse it back to health. Kimball said when he got there the lady was bottle feeding a beaver. Too funny! Kimball is growing soft as he gets older because he is not opposed to shooting random animals around our house.

I can't believe that owl comment. CRAZY!!! So sorry about the mosquito reaction. At least Stacie can relate. You may need to have an epi pen on hand just in case.
