The last supper.

Autumn had her 18 month check up today. She was 32.5 inches tall (75th percentile), weighed 24 pounds on the dot (50th percentile) and her head was 18 inches around. The Doc said she was tall and thin! I find that hilarious considering her girth from birth to 12 months! Anyway, she did end up getting one shot, but it is her last one until she is 4 years old unless we go for the flu shot.

We spent some time with second family today. Cindy always feeds me when you are gone and I'm so glad she did. Autumn and I would have eaten hot dogs, but Cindy rescued us from that and fed us pizza and Slow Cooker Beans and Sausage. I made the cornbread, but Cindy is the one who did all the work!

Autumn's going to be an unruly teenager isn't she? She is only one and is already bringing her cellphone to the table!

Having a good time.

At first it looks like she has an evil intent, but...

Peek A Boo
BOO!! Look at Dylan laugh. Then all the fun came to a crashing halt thanks to...

Getting in trouble
Mr Travis!!! Look at Autumn's face.

Travis tossing Autumn
Autumn loves Mr Travis even though she gets in trouble with him sometimes. She was loving on him and even brought him a book to read to her. I have to tell you, it made me cry a little bit. Autumn doesn't just love on anyone and I'm so grateful that in your absence, we have second family. I could tell that Autumn really misses you.

I love you.

Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

One lonely day without you.

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.
