Making New Friends.

It is so exciting to see you post on here. I almost do not want to post this because it will push your post down!!!! It is so nice to have your touch on my blog. Anyway, back to me and Autumn.

This morning we headed over to the:

Alaska Museum
Alaska Museum of Natural History. We had such a blast. As we pulled up into the parking lot, we were greeted by this painting on the side of the building.

Autumn was so excited as we got started.

EXCITED

We were greeted at the door by a very nice dog named Bosley. Autumn made fast friends with him and spent almost the ENTIRE time at the museum walking back out to Bosley. At one point she laid down next to him (I had to draw the line there-the floor was wet from snow).

Friends.

Once I tore Autumn away from the dog, we made our way through the museum. First stop, Cool yet Creepy Owl.

Owl.

Then,
Stuffed Animals.
More creepy, but cool animals.

Bear
Autumn, watch out for that bear!!!!!

Then things took a more serious turn,
Scientist Autumn.
Autumn was very much so studying different organisms under the microscope. She even showed some of the older kids how to eat the slides.

Then the most awesomest part of the whole museum, the DINOSAUR PIT!!!
Dino Pit.
My little Paleontologist loved digging in the "rocks" for dino bones. Did you ever have any idea Autumn would be living out your dream Sean?

For anybody reading my blog in Alaska, it only cost $5 to go to the Museum. They allow the children to touch everything (minus Mr Lion who will apparently shed his fur so no touching him). In addition to the dinosaur pit, they have a huge wall in the back with a chalkboard on it for drawing, playdo for making awesome things with, puzzles, all kinds of good kid stuff. I highly recommend it for children under five. It was a blast!

We had a very good day. I think I have successfully weaned Autumn. She has not had any breast milk since last night. She is in bed for the night and she did not seem at all upset about not nursing. Hopefully tomorrow goes just as well.

I love you and miss you terribly. Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

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.
