Is it Friday yet?

I know I've said this like a million times, but it feels like you have been gone for FOREVER. I was so glad when I got to talk to you yesterday. I felt like a teenager all over again, wondering if you were going to call, then we talked for almost two hours. When is the last time you talked on the phone for THAT long??

We had an interesting day around here. Autumn and I ran an errand over at the University Center and I wanted to show you something that Cindy found for me.

This backpack is so stinking cute on her. It gives her some independence and it gives me some "control." I can admit that it is not much control.

Touching trees
Autumn slowly touches the tree like she thinks it is Pepper Annie. I'm not sure what that is all about. Back to the pack. I like that I can store her cup in there and she likes that too.

Drinking and backpack
Taking a sip. I thought we were ready to get walking, but alas...

Back pack
Had to stop for another sip. OK, we are off. Guess where our next stop is??

Counting sheep
I promise you, your daughter thinks these guys are real. We need to make a trip to the petting zoo soon. She will love it.

While out running our errands, we finally got our hands on some rain boots. This is what we found:
Autumn in her rain boots
It is hysterical to see her walk in these things. She takes these huge steps like she is Godzilla trying to step over buildings. Here is another view. Please note her legs just over her boots.

From the rear.
Poor Autumn, she has thunder thighs. Who or where does she get those from??

Well, my dear, I love you and I miss you so much. Come home soon.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

Those boots are TOO cute! Love her sippy! Which one is it? I am still on the hunt for a good sippy that holds a lot. We have the Nuby ones, but you have to bite down on the straw to get something out of it and I can't even get anything out of it!

It is a Playtex straw cup. Autumn loves it and if I even try to give her one of her old cups, she will have a fit. The only issue with this cup is that if you push the straw in too far, milk will leak out. Other than that, it is a great cup. You do not have to bite down on it and from the first time she started drinking from it, she has had NO problems!!

Snowzilla.

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.
