We took pictures with mosquitoes last night.

See, we did our family pictures in January, but these pictures were just for you girls.

The problem is that this has been a particularly wet year – so by the time we made it out to the dam on Canyon Lake Dr. – all the mosquitoes in the world had arrived too.

We used bug spray, swatted at each other faces, and scratched at our arms until the photographer allowed us to escape.

You got so hot, K, your cheeks were red by the time we finished. H, you were over it all 60 seconds after we got there.

Mom dressed you in matching blue dresses and when we were finished, we ate popsicles from Frio’s.

We made it home just before it rained.

I love you desperately.
