OK, I won't finish that!! We took a short drive up to Alpenglow today. We knew there would be snow up there and I'm so glad we did. We had an absolute blast. I think tomorrow we are going to don some snow gear and go back. I was wearing tennis shoes (duh! Not a smart idea) and my feet got wet!

Sean and Autumn.

Autumn didn't seem to enjoy sledding all by her lonesome.

Sean sledding very fast.
Sean, on the other hand, did!

Snow
Checking out the snow up close. I like that you can see the snow flakes. Autumn likes saying the word, "snow."

Crying over a snowflake.
Checking out a snowflake up close. I don't know why this was so upsetting for Autumn. It wasn't like I was going to have Sean hit the tree and make all the snow fall on us (insert evil laugh here).

Scary Sledding
What on earth possessed Sean to put Autumn on his shoulders like that and sled down is beyond me. Autumn was scared out of her mind and grabbing his face with a very tight grip!

Very Scary sledding
When they finally stopped, Sean was hollering, "help I can't get up!" I ran over and grabbed Autumn up before she went in the snow!

Pre White wash.
Two seconds later, she fell right in the snow!

Sweet Autumn
My favorite picture of the day. Autumn trying to catch a snowflake on her tongue! What a cute little girl. Thank you for the wonderful day!

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.
