Living with bugs

Willow, who is 1, has not yet learned to swat mosquitoes away. Lately, when we are outside, we frantically rush over and brush away several mosquitoes from her face. So far she does not seem to mind them.

Here is a big ol moth or some irradiated Hulk butterfly. You may notice my clever implementation of Natural Light as an aid to scale. It useful on so many levels.

Here is a picture response from Steve, moments after sending along that beer-scale-referenced moth picture up there.

Almost every picture and story of Willow makes me laugh. I've never met the child, but I sure do like her. Good work Nelsons.

I am pretty sure he met her at his weeding party week.... he was probably just in a daze.

Oh yeah... I did. She was real small at the time though and without much of a personality.
