Brick Licker.

We've had a busy day.

Autumn and Katie getting ready for Walmart.

I tried to get Millie in the picture, but as you can see, she wasn't interested. We went to Walmart where I was able to get a few more things from our school supply list. I needed to buy Katie a toothbrush because her mom forgot one!!! Once I got to checkout, I realized I left my debit card in the car, so I had to NC it. Darn it! I'll send the money back tomorrow.

We went home and the girls played with bikes, sprinklers and what not while I worked in the yard.

I caught Millie doing this again:

She says to me, "Millie. Licking." Then she laughs her head off. It really grosses me out and I really am becoming concerned that there is something wrong with her. I don't want to be that mom that calls the doctor and says, "my kid is licking stuff and it is weirding me out."

I decided I would try distraction. I told Millie we would play in the sprinkles. This was her idea of getting ready.

Some relief from the heat.

The professionals had to show her how to do it.

I think they could have stayed out there all day!

I turned off the water, fixed lunch and put Millie down for nap. They gave me and the bigger girls time to

Paint our nails. Autumn had no idea about this concept. She was so funny. She said, so this stuff goes on our fingers? No, our nails. But why? It's pretty? I don't know! She liked it though.

After naptime, I went back out to the yard and pulled weeds. I have two garbage bags full. I know you will think this is sexy and not because I am in the picture...

I love you and miss you much.

Your Current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The Count: 23 days of pulling weeds for hours!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
