Chiggers

Before I get to the whole chiggers thing, I have to mention that Ethan is getting so big and grown up! He now says "whoa" (or at least the baby equivalent) whenever Derek plays airplane with him. As soon as Derek starts to move him and says "whoooooa", Ethan starts in making the same noise. Very cute, and of course, very grown-up.

Now to the chiggers. I don't know when they bit me, I don't know when they bit Derek, but they did. Thankfully, they didn't get the baby, but Derek and I are both covered in big red bumps. They're really, really itchy when I run and get sweaty, but are only mildly itchy the rest of the time. I was going to post an after-run chigger pic to show the beauty of their glowing redness, but it ended up just looking like some gross-out porn or other such weirdness. Close-ups of body parts become fairly ambiguous and unidentifiable.

Other than the continual itchiness, this morning's run was great. It was cool and crisp and beautiful.
