Baby's first mosquito bite(s)

Unfortunately, we were ambushed last night. Matt was left unscathed, but Emma and I were wounded in battle. Four mosquitoes were killed and one or more are still at large. I was bitten 12 times. Poor Emma, thrice. She hasn't swelled and seems no worse for wear. One mosquito met his maker in pursuit of Emma... But he was trapped in the mosquito net, then killed with the mosquito racket (an electric tennis racket that electrocutes them to death).

I've never enjoyed killing bugs before becoming their prey here in South Asia! Now, I harness my hatred of them and use it as adrenaline fuel to slay any and all who enter our home. Don't mess with the mama, and especially not with her little one!
