So I want to start off by saying thanks to all for the birthday wishes!!! Ben and Holdyn took great care of me on my Birthday!!! This week was great until Thursday. We lost power. Words can't explain what a long, hot night it was. There was absolutely no breeze. It was HOT, HUMID, and very still!!! Do you know what you get in these conditions??? MOSQUITO'S. This is Holdyn's chest and back........covered in Mosquito bites!!! 
We didn't get as many bites as Holdyn did, just a few here and there. But the poor girl looks like she has the chicken pox!! Ben and I hardly slept all night, we had to take cold showers before we got into bed just to cool off.....but it didn't last long. We were drenched with sweat in no time! It was absolutely miserable!!! We got up around 4:30am and that is when we noticed the swarm of mosquito's hovering around Holdyn's crib!!!! We started swatting, and kept on swatting! Ben and I both felt sick that she was pretty much eaten alive! That next morning, still no power. We decided to try and get our meats and other stuff from the freezer to another freezer so it didn't go bad.....I just stocked us up! During the process we decided that we didn't want the icecream to go to waste so we had it for breakfast. Seriously, is there any bad time to eat icecream?!
After another long and very HOT day with no power...we ended up staying with some of our great friends. They were nice enough to let us crash on their front room floor under the A/C. It felt heavenly! Anyway, after almost 48 hours....the power came back on!!!! We survived yet another island experience (apparantly this isn't too unusual, and the islanders didn't seem in to much of a hurry to get it fixed). One more reason we are thankful for the good old USA!!

Oh, that just doesn't sound like fun at all. Poor little Holdyn.Hey at least the ice cream didn't go to waste.
Poor Holdyn, cover her in calomine lotion! Make her pink! How miserable. Hipefully not to many things went to waste.
Oh man, that bites!!! :)
I cant imagine in the humidity without a.c.
Does Holdyn act like the bites have bothered her? Poor girl.
That sucks! That has got to be one of those experiences that makes you realized how lucky and spoiled we are to have power, electronics, showers, etc! Poor Holdyn! Has she been crying alot? Do you think she notices? And to answer your questions - no, there is not a bad time to eat icecream!
Holdyn doesn't scratch them so I think that helps. You can tell they bother her...mostly when I get her dressed or dry her off with the towell...ya know whenever they are rubbed or touched they get itchy and she gets cranky! Poor girl! I just feel like an awful mom!!! I hope they go away soon and those mosquito's weren't carrying any of the nasty diseases that are here! AHHHH! Again, another reason to miss the good old USA!!
Spencer Says, "you need to take better care of your kid." ;) he would say that...LOL...love him Lots!!
sad, eat more ice cream for me!!
Holy cow, that sounds MISERABLE. Poor Holdyn! It's totally not your fault! I think I've had ice cream for breakfast before too...
