The rest of the story.

I need to update about the rest of Autumn's birthday, but first I have to tell you something. I dropped my camera yesterday and the flash stopped working. I don't know if the bulb just needs to be replaced (if it can be replaced), but I'm trying not to be extremely upset about it. I'll google it or something. Hopefully it is an easy fix. SO, the pictures seem to have a weird color to them. On to the good stuff.

After nap yesterday, Autumn opened up her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Coleman.

Checking out the package.

Tearing into it.

It was a Precious Moments Figurine. Autumn loves those. That is the second one she has received- this one sings Happy Birthday. I have often found that Autumn takes her Precious Moments Figurines to bed with her. She is very careful with them.

She was singing happy happy with it!

Autumn also got a baby doll. I hope she likes her new sister that much!

OK, hopefully she doesn't like her sister so much that she shoves fake ice cream down her throat!! My mom and dad also sent little groceries to go with her shopping cart that Cindy's mom/dad gave her for Christmas.

Ice Cream Microphone!

Yes Autumn, you probably really do need some product in your hair. Don't you fuss at me to brush her hair, that is how it looks when she wakes up!!

Arrrrrgh I'm Two
Argghhh I'm Two. That shirt is from Jennifer and Brett. Considering how much of a savage Autumn is, completely appropriate! Thank you Jennifer and Brett.

This afternoon while I was looking up some recipes online, Autumn was in the kitchen being very quiet. After a few minutes, I realized it was a little too quiet. So, I'm not going to say much else about this next photo, but you have to pay close attention. There will be a hint at the end if you missed it.
Pay close attention
Just for fun.

Izzy, Jenny and Isaac came over this evening. Today is Izzy's second birthday. I cooked dinner (we had Italian salad and Chicken Parmesan). I also made two small cakes for the girls to ice and decorate. We sang happy birthday to Izzy and then enjoyed some cake and ice cream.

Cake
Autumn decorated her own cake (and ate most of the icing).

109 Days of checking the temperature of her milk 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.
