Surviving with Jimi

By -
Sorry I didn't update yesterday! Sean left on Saturday for Moody AFB, Georgia. He should be gone about a week. Autumn and I have been keeping busy, well really, we've been staying inside. It has been rainy, windy, and just pretty dreary. We've been snuggling up together, watching chick flicks and eating popcorn. Today was a pretty uneventful day. Autumn and I met Cindy and Dylan at the gym and did our walk, then we came home and Cindy cooked us lunch and we just hung out until after nap time.

Nap time was a big fat fail. We erroneously thought it would be cute if the kids slept together, but Mr Dylan was able to get Autumn's door open, so we split the kids up and this of course upset both of them. Autumn's feelings were hurt that Dylan left and I think Dylan was just upset about nap time!

Anyway, after about a 30 minute nap, both kids started crying (Autumn was about inconsolable) and after Cindy left, I got the nerve to feel around in Autumn's mouth. I think I can say that for the first time in 19 months, Autumn actually is teething. I felt a bunch of ridges and I have this feeling that the rest of those teeth are going to come in all at once. (For those of you that do not remember- Autumn only has six teeth right now and she just got those a few months ago!)

We are having Corn Beef and Cabbage for dinner, but while we were waiting for it to cook, Autumn rocked out to her favorite musician Jimi Hendrix. I LOVE it that she loves Jimi. I actually took several videos (which you and I can laugh over when you get home), but I'm only posting one. Check out Autumn's moves!!


If this doesn't make you laugh, then you have a heart of stone! Oh and what is up with the resting push-up position. I about fell in the floor when she did that! She must have learned that from you!

Here are a few pictures from last weekend when we drove up to Alpenglow to check out the termination dust.

Termination dust refers to the first snow fall, terminating summer/fall season or I've also been told it dates back to mining days-when the miners would close up and head out.

It is often cloudy and dreary in Anchorage, but if you change your view, you can get above the clouds and see some sunshine. This picture doesn't necessarily give you the full effect, but you can see we are above the clouds!

I love you Sean. I am looking forward to you coming home. I sure do hope you can visit with your family while you are there. Talk to you soon.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

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.
