A big welcome home!

This morning when Autumn woke up, that "scab" on the back of her head was gone. I'm somewhat perplexed by this. It reminds me of an episode of "Friends" where Joey and Chandler left a baby on the bus. Do you know what I am talking about?? When they get back to the transportation office, they have to decide between two kids which one is Ben and they pick the kid with the freckle only to discover that the freckle moves. Anyway, I was feeling anxious about how Autumn would react to you at the airport.

I got her ready to go and off we went. She acted like a complete savage at the airport-she kept trying to get over to the escalator. Uh yeah, I'm going to let her near an escalator. When you finally started to walk down the hall, she found a bottle cap and was much more interested in that than you. After a few seconds though, out came the big old grin. Time for a photo:

Happy to see dad.
Autumn and her daddy.

Off to wait for the bags. Autumn was entertained by:
Photobucket
Stuffed bears, goat and other.

Autumn was also entertaining:
Checking out the kids
She certainly likes to be the center of attention.

You're not going without me
Autumn declared, "You are not going anywhere without me Dad!"

So now we are home and we are a complete family unit, at least for a little bit. Autumn is a little under the weather and a little cranky, so off to bed with all of us. You first Autumn. Be careful up those stairs sweet child.

Walking down the stairs.

I'm glad you have your hubby back home! I'm sure Autumn is super-happy too. Alos, I should let you know, that the outfit she's wearing is adorable!

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.
