Basking in the sun.

It was such a beautiful day today. It was sunny and warm (got up to 49 degrees-maybe even a tad bit warmer). If you are an Alaskan and did not do something outside today, SHAME ON YOU!!! Last summer we had maybe a handful of days like today. After our workout at the gym this morning, we picked up BBQ and had a picnic with Cindy and Dylan on the back porch. I decided I needed to get a tan.

Autumn needs one too!

Hieeeeeeee
Hieeeeeeeeeee!

Shortly after lunch, I put Autumn down for her nap. She woke up maybe twenty minutes later, so I got her up and we walked to the commissary to pick up a few ingredients for dinner. After we walked back home, I changed her diaper, refilled her milk and we headed right back out the door. We walked to the big park on Fort Richardson. We stayed there for quite some time and I got a ton of great photos. This post is going to be long because of all these photos, but I assume you do not mind.

Sleeping
Thanks to that really short nap, she totally fell asleep on the way there.

Pick me up
Pick me up mom!

Peek a boo
Peek a boo!!

Getting closer
Crawling to the top.

Closer
A little closer.

Hilarious
Even closer!

She was so proud of herself for getting up there all by herself.

Hysterical
And apparently she thought it was hysterical!

End of the slide
Down she went (all by herself)!

Bottom of the slide
At the bottom.

Studying a rock
She was studying the rocks.

In the tube
Having fun in the tubes.

After walking home from the park (we walked a total of 6 miles today not including the running I did at the gym) I cooked dinner. We had Honey-Sesame Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Scallion Salad. It was really delicious:

Dinner.

I know that you will be out in the field tomorrow and we will not be able to talk. I hate that-I've grown accustomed to speaking to you daily. I am missing you and this week cannot go by fast enough for me. Take care out there.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

The Count:
Day 19
Day 19 (I think the look on her face is pretty funny).

Falling day 19
I added this shot because right after I took, she fell and got all kinds of dirty.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
