We finally got a TX doctor to tell us what has now plagued all the Hernandez children. Chiggers! Dr. Karr, our pediatrician, took one look at the bites and gave us the answer. The kids get creamed from head to toe and the problem should be over in the morning. Apparently when they went exploring with the Stephenson kids last week,they picked up the critters. Thankfully, they do not pass from person to person or infest houses. I was about to have a breakdown thinking about that. Meanwhile, we are enjoy the company of Stephanie, Jeremy and Baby Brooke. They are here visiting Jeremy's grandfather who is suffering from kidney failure in Tomball Hospital. We are blessed to get to watch Brooke while they visit with him. Please keep the Mercantel family in your prayers.

I lived in Missouri for 2 years and had run-ins several times with those horrid little buggers. I soon learned not to spend a lot of time in deep grass or out in the woods.
Unfortunately, the ticks out east are even worse than the chiggers were. However, Missouri did have fireflies too which helped to make up for all of the awful bugs.
