Happy, Happy!

Autumn has been walking around saying happy, happy! We are having a wonderful time catching back up with Sean. Now if we could just get Sean on a normal sleeping schedule!

Autumn has been sticking to Sean like glue, she still gets concerned if he walks out of eye sight, but that is slowly getting better. Those two are definitely making up for lost time!

Shoveling
I felt a little bad about Sean having to shovel when he got home from Afghanistan, but!!!!! At least he had some help!

Helping
Well, sort of!

Snow
Maybe it was more like someone cheering him on!

Autumn
She is so happy!!

You talking to me
You talking to me?

As many of you know, we didn't really celebrate Autumn's birthday, we were waiting for Sean to get home.

Happy Birthday Autumn
Happy Birthday Autumn!!

Big bite
Taking a big ol' bite!

Nap time
Is there anything sweeter than my two favorite people taking a nap together?? Why do the cats look so mad that I'm taking a picture?

Sean goes back to work tomorrow for a few days, then he will be off for awhile. We are doing our best to keep Autumn on her normal schedule, but bed time has been all over the place since Friday. That's OK, we should be settling down into a routine shortly. Hopefully Sean going back to work isn't too bad for Autumn tomorrow. We have a lot of things coming up on the horizon and I cannot wait to share them with 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.
