Climbing the pole.

Can you see our birds? That is two of them, but there are usually like 4 or 5. They are very small birds, but they are mean as all get out. If you open the door to walk out, they start screeching and fly right at you. I know I shouldn't be intimidated by such small birds, but I don't want to be pooped upon, or have my eyes pecked out. They keep leaving their droppings all over the concrete right below them. What a nice howdy do to our visitors. Ding Dong. Oh please come in and mind the bird crap. I don't know how I am supposed to get rid of them.

Do you suppose it is God's little joke. As soon as you leave, I get wasps (in the house), crickets (in the house), SPIDERS everywhere, ANTS all over and now mean birds! You should see me when I work up enough nerve to go out there and shoo them away. Once they start flying at me, the screaming begins. I wonder what our neighbors think of me. Hmmmm I could try shooting them. You think that would keep them away? Maybe I should practice more angry birds and see if I cannot throw things at them.

We went to Sam's today. For the most part, the kids were pretty well behaved.

This afternoon I did more yardwork. I needed to mow the grass. It was nice and cloudy. It wasn't as hot as it has been.

After yardwork we did some swimming. After swimming, our world took a different turn.

Millie was doing a hand stand, I think.

Then Autumn decided that climbing was next on the agenda.

Katie was really good at this, she got up there all on her own. I was hoping that by Autumn seeing her do it, she would do it.

Autumn trying to help Millie get up there!

As it turns out, Autumn just isn't able to do it yet. I think if she keeps trying it though, she will be able to get up there all by herself.

Trying to get a picture of Millie doing it. FAIL!

She is such a silly girl.

Millie has been wearing her glasses today of her own accord. This morning I discovered she had popped her lense out and I popped it back in. I just wish we could fix her eye.

I love you and miss you so much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The Count: 29 days of missing 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.
