Time for smiles.

After all the sadness that was going on around here, it was time for smiles.

First, Autumn was able to talk to you for what seemed like a long time. She was so very happy (even though she still was sad that you are away). Secondly, your mom changed her plans and will make it to Autumn's school function. I am so relieved.

These girls are ready for Halloween.

Already for school.

Miss grouchy pants. She hasn't been feeling well and the sun has been bothering her.

After a good nap for Millie and some quiet time for Autumn and I, we went out side for some hoopty hoops.

Doesn't she look like a ballerina? Who knew she had some grace....

Millie came outside and because she had just woken up from her nap, she didn't have her glasses on yet. F A I L.

Let me back in!!! We went in and put her sunglasses on and then headed to Lake Bottom.

Crazy pants.

It is about time we had some smiles and laughs.

Since when is Millie allowed to look so grown up?

Going up Autumn style.

Millie gets ideas....

She didn't make it any further than that. She is going to need to wear different shoes if she really thinks she wants to do that!

After the girls played until they were sufficiently hot, I headed out for my run. We came across this broken tree (as Autumn called it) and she asked me to please take a picture of it.

I ran approximately two miles and thought I was going to die. It was 94 degrees after all. It helped me to feel better. I guess the moving and pushing myself, I can feel the stress seeping out of my body. I plan to do a nice long run all by my lonesome tomorrow.

To finish out this post, I have a few more park pictures. Sorry for the over load, but you know I have a hard time deciding which ones to show and which ones to leave out. I took over 100 pictures....

I love you and miss you so much.

Thank you for staying up and talking to us.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

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.
