We really had a bit to much excitement around here this afternoon. Around 3:50 I noticed that the house was shaking again and told the kids we were having another earthquake. It was much smaller than the one on Sunday, but turned out to be on the same fault line. (4.0 centered in Hawthorne) The kids probably won’t even had noticed it if I hadn’t said anything. My whole desk was shaking so I knew it was an earthquake. A few minutes later Falyn was outside and started screaming that a “honey bee” had stung her. I ran outside and picked her up and saw that she had stepped on a bee. Her foot was getting swollen and a red rash was appearing all around the sting. We were working to get the stinger out when the my 4:15 pm portrait session appointment showed up. I had a First Communion portrait session schedule for a beautiful girl named Ashley. Ashley’s grandmother Linda was a huge help. She sat with Falyn and helped calm her down while we got the stinger out and I ran around looking for the benadryl. After giving Falyn some oral benadryl and spraying some benadryl gel on her foot and putting some ice on it, Falyn calmed down and we put on Tinkerbell for her to watch while we did the portrait session. You can see the sneak peek of Ashley’s pictures here.
