You're pushing my buttons!

Today we decided to stay local. We went to downtown Anchorage and ate at this place called the Snow Goose. It was more of a lame duck. I would like to say that the location is nice (has good views of Mt Susitna)and is convenient to downtown, but the food was just OK. This restaurant is also a brewery and perhaps if you go for just a beer, you may have a more enjoyable experience, but as far as the food goes, I'd pass!

After lunch, we stopped by the information place.

Down town flowers
It's such a neat place. They have a grass roof and the flowers are just gorgeous.

Then we headed over to Towne Square to check out the fountain.

Pushing my buttons
Then started pushing her button! I was just glad she wasn't pushing the two north of that location (which she was doing on the airplane ride home from South Carolina to Anchorage)!!

On our way back to the car I bumped into this creep.
Cherish and Creepy Fox
I have no idea what this guy is doing out there, but I felt strongly I needed my picture taken with him.

Off to bed with me! Looking forward to tomorrow (sorta).

Autumn is too funny! Pushing her buttons, lol. I'm flying with Alyssa to Oregon sometime just after she officially turns 9 months...I'm curious to see how she'll act.
I see what you mean- you can definitely tell Autumn is your hubby's daughter! In her own way, she does look like him. :)
You look lovely in that last photo!

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.
