Hanging with the Jordan's.

It is Tuesday now.......

Bunny had Tuesday off, so we made plans to spend that day with the Jordan's. I first dropped Grandma Betty off in Veedersburg (did you know she doesn't drive?) and made our way to Attica.

We decided we would go to the Warren County 4-H Fair.

Your cousin Zoe and her horse Stretch. Autumn did feed stretch, but she was a little bit scared. Who could blame her?

This picture cracks me up!

Zoe, Stretch and her boyfriend.

Generally not a fan of taking random pictures of random people, but this little girl and her pony were too cute.

Pony's name was Misty.

That guy had eyes as blue as Millie's. It was kind of creepy.

Uhm, hello MILLIE... I'm over here!!!

After a fun filled day, we headed back over to Grandma Edna's and had a sort of cookout. It was a nice time. At one point, I was assisting Millie in the bathroom and Autumn came and told me something awful had happened. So I follow her out where she exclaims in front of a room of people that "That awful baby (Holly- Julie's baby) STOLE her blanket AND was getting germs all over it!" It was hilarious! Then she looks at us and around the room and looks at Julie and says, "Are you going to do something about it!" Too funny! To Autumn's defense, Holly was drooling/eating her blanket. YUCK!

Three little, lonely girls missing you in such a miserable way.

I have to take a moment and really discuss the lonely part of what I am saying. After all that fun at the fair, we all desperately needed a bath. Once the girls were washed up, I was drying Autumn and she said to me the following, "I hope I dream about my daddy tonight." I said, "I hope you do too!" Autumn says, "I hope I dream about him coming home." It brought tears to my eyes. It was so terribly sad. What can one say to a four year old little girl who misses her dad. I hugged her and said, "that would be a wonderful dream."

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

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.
