We made it!

We made it to South Carolina in one piece. The worst part of our trip was Emelia falling out of the seat on the plane and smacking her face and then dumping a great big glass of apple juice all over me and Autumn.

It is so hot here. We are just loving it. Autumn keeps telling me that the sun is burning her. She misses her dad and asks to go home, but she is having such a good time with all of her cousins.

Autumn loves her grandpa and I'm hoping she will warm up to grandma soon.

I miss you Sean and wish you were here.

I have one photo from the last time we were here and one new photo from this trip. I'll be posting some more tomorrow.

This was Autumn November 2009, our last visit to SC.

Autumn now... relishing in the warmth of Charleston and enjoying an ice cream.

See if I had looked at this I would know what Columbus we were talking about. So now I have nothing to offer you. It was Columbus, OH that my cousin lived. The pictures of your trip are great so you'll be happy to enjoy the weather next year too. Sorry I haven't been paying attention. So many beautiful things the girls will get to see and the best part being close to Sean's family. Again, I'm sorry for mixing things up but very happy you will be based in a place that makes you happy!

Snowzilla.

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.
