Muscles.

Last night, Autumn asked me why I was working out. I replied,

We were really tickled over how silly we looked.

After I finished my workout, I went to work on my steaks.

The girls decided they wanted to help.

Secretly, I think they just wanted to sit on the counter.

When I told Millie we were having steak, she went a got a bowl, climbed up and said "Cook it. Steak."

Photobucket
She was clearly hungry and not all that patient!

Photobucket
"right there mom. cook it."

OK, OK. I got the potatoes going first, once they were nearly finished, I put the steaks in the pan and cooked them to perfection.

It was a nice dinner and only missing two elements. 1. Wine. 2. You.

Autumn came into our room this morning at 6 am. She told me she wanted to get in bed with me. I told her she could. Then she told me she had a dream about grandma. I asked her which one and she said, "spider house grandma." I asked her what her dream was about and she said, "Grandma gave me her kitty cat." I asked her if she meant Pepper and she said no, "grandma's little kitty cat." It is a stuffed animal and Autumn has tried to swipe it every time we've been over there. She cracks me up.

Millie was up shortly after Autumn and when I went to get her from her room, she had already dressed herself for the day. I made us all some coffee and myself a bagel. Millie wanted one too, so I gave her mine.

She said, "Mornin. Daddy."

After breakfast, working out, shower, and laundry, we made our way out the door to the Fresh Market. I picked up two bottles of wine and cookies for the monsers. We went over to Publix and grabbed a couple items that were 2 for 1. Since getting home, we have been lazy. Nap time, watching chick flicks, and doing puzzles. We will have leftovers for dinner tonight. Tomorrow we will go to church. No idea what, if anything will be in store for us girls. Maybe a walk or something. Depends on the weather I suppose.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 43 days of problem sloving 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.
