The Museum.

By -
Autumn and I picked up Ava and headed over to the Natural History Museum with Jenny, Izzy and Issac in tow. I've taken Autumn there before, but it has been awhile. All the kids really enjoyed looking at all the animals (although Izzy was a little afraid at first). After we walked around the museum, the kids played in the dinosaur pits. Digging for dino bones and other buried treasures. They also have the chalkboard wall the kids drew on (minus Autumn who decided the floor was more fun to write on). There was a little table set up for play doh fun. We stayed about an hour, dropped Ava back off to her grandma. Autumn and I have been lounging the rest of today, but I think I'm going to head over to the PX and look at cameras.

I cannot believe I broke my camera and it really doesn't look like it is going to be an easy fix. I checked out Sony's website and to get a service repair, you have to pay 181 dollars. I'm pretty sure the flash bulb needs to be replaced and that sounds ridiculous to me. I might look for a cheapy camera for the mean time. Otherwise, how will I take photos for you??

You were right though, outside the camera works fine, but as you will see in this post, once we are inside......... ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

Feet
It was 41 degrees out today and that jacket had to come off for Autumn. She was hot and got totally cranky about wearing it, so I didn't make her wear her coat anywhere else.

Seal
Autumn stole that seal off of one of the displays and lugged it all around the museum today. I was for sure I was in for it when it was time to leave, but thankfully she was distracted and didn't mind leaving him behind for other children to enjoy!

The last picture I'm sharing today is one I took the last time Autumn and I went to the museum. I haven't shared this picture on the blog yet. I found it on my cell phone a few weeks ago.

I cannot wait for you to come home Sean. I miss you terribly. It hurts me so much when you are away. I was talking to Autumn today about you coming home. I said, daddy is coming home soon Autumn, she said no. I said yes he is, she said no, no. I am hoping that doesn't mean that she has given up hope that you will come home. That would be too sad. Deployment is so hard on the family. We both just want you to come home to us. Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

Best friends
110 days of missing our best friend (you.... not the dog)!!

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.
