Is that a duck in the lake? No! It's Autumn's blanket!

Not a whole lot to talk about today. This evening Autumn and I went to Cindy's for dinner. I had a really good fajita and Autumn had pastrami and lima beans. Dylan and Autumn played for a bit while the rest of us sipped on margarita's. Yeah right!!!!! I wouldn't have left if that had been the case. It was good company... It is nice to have a conversation with people who can talk back to me though (you know, in a language that I speak).

Autumn and Dylan playing with a toy that I'm pretty sure belongs to Travis.

Before we left, Travis really got Autumn going. Check out this video. Did you see what Dylan did to Autumn???



I walked out to my car with a handful of stuff after wading through the lake in Cindy's front yard, successfully got Autumn in the car just in time to look down and see Autumn's favorite blanket floating in the lake. MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, I needed to wash that thing anyway.

Tomorrow I have my clinical observation here on Elmendorf. I'm pretty excited about that. Not much else going on here. I truly am ready for you to come home.

Cherish,

Hello from IBSSO! Your name came up today so I thought I'd check out the blog. This place is the same as always... What am I still doing here? Oh well, I'll be TDY next week to San Diego so it's not all drudgery.

Your baby pictures are super cute.

Christina is working on my second grandchild... Due on Labor Day! Grandson Izaiah "Izzy" is just awesome at 2 1/2... We have a lot of fun together.

Gotta run... Dennon & I are working on a project.

All the Best! Chris

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.
