Girls will be girls.

Autumn was so confused about yesterday. "Mommy, is daddy jumping out of the airplane?" Even though I tried to explain that you got on a plane and went away to work, she thinks you are jumping out of the plane and expects to see you. When we got done at the gym today, she saw the Jeep out front and said daddy is here. I suppose a few more days will go by and she will get it.

I bought the portable DVD player last night, charged it up and it has been running every since! Autumn loves that she can watch a movie in the car. I think it will be wonderful to have on our great big airplane ride next week.

Can you believe that is next week. I must be out of my ever loving mind to travel so far with two little people. I'm so excited to see everyone though and have a great big birthday bash for Autumn.

OK, I don't have any pictures to share right now. I'll see if I cannot snap some off after nap time so that you can see your beautiful little girls.

OK took some pictures right at nap time.

This is Autumn's idea of a wonderful naptime!

The non stop "Buzz TV."

Emelia wants to see too!

I don't know why these turned out so dark, but she really liked sitting in Autumn's chair.

Then out of nowhere....

Take a close look at what Autumn is getting ready to do. YEP! She took her arm and knocked Emelia right out of the chair. Thankfully I caught her and had a stern talk with Autumn.

Emelia was none the wiser though! Yes, that is blueberry on her shirt. I'm amazed at how slovenly she is.

Autumn wanted to say to you that she loves you and that you are a good girl.

It is very lightly snowing. Hopefully I won't have to shovel today!

I love you and miss you dearly.

Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

1 day 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.
