Another snowy day.

By -
Woke up this morning to yet more snow. As much as I don't mind shoveling, it is getting tiresome. Zaps all my energy for a little while. I knew once Travis left, us girls would be fending for ourselves. I'll be so glad when you get home and can help Angie and I take care of the snow removal responsibilities.

Autumn is really enjoying the snow now. I'm thinking her boots are fitting so much better now and it really leaves me wondering if earlier this winter she was so upset about being out in the snow because her shoes were ill fitting.

Fun in the snow
Kicking the snow around.

Looking dainty
It amazes me that Autumn has the ability to look dainty no matter what it is she is doing or wearing!

Touching snow
Being a good girl and wearing her gloves. I haven't had to fight with her the last few snow outings to wear her gloves. She is fascinated with "touching" the snow. I need to upgrade to some better gloves for her now that she is getting the hang of it. Also, I figure her new snow suit can wait until you get home. We can look for one together.

Snowy gloves
Look at all that snow!

Flinging snow at me
Autumn flinging snow at me.

Enjoying the snow
Then so proud of herself for doing it!

Cherish and Autumn
The sun started to come out. Do you see it on the top of the trees?

I wanted to give you an idea of how snowed in the Jeep is on the one side.
Crying
Autumn was totally freaked out about me setting her in the snow like that!! You can see that she is nearly able to see over the top of the Jeep.

You see the top of the Jeep?
I told her to say hello to Daddy, but she said no! I want you to know that when we go and shovel the snow together, Autumn always cleans the snow off the Jeep. She talks about you the whole time she does it. It is so cute.

Autumn decided to take a little walk.
Foot steps
I decided to let her and snapped off this photo of her little foot steps. That speck way at the end of the photo, that is Autumn!

Loner
Your little clone in almost every way. The lone wolf.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Not sure if you knew that because you don't follow football. I have no idea who is playing or what we are going to do today. Autumn is still under the weather a little bit. I'm coming down with whatever it is she has. I think we will go to church tonight and just hang around the house. I love you and miss you so much it hurts.

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.
