Autumn turns 5.

By -
This morning we went to church with Angie. Autumn went to Riley's class and Millie went to Reagan's. It was a little hairy with Millie. She didn't want to go. They gave me a number though that they would display in the auditorium if I needed to come back and grab Millie. Thankfully, we made it through service without a Millie interruption.

After church we headed over to a burger place for crabby patties and fries.

Once we finished our lunch, we went to Savannah's version of Cherry Berry, Fro Yo.

We came home where some of the girls did nap time. Autumn looked so tired.

After nap time, we did some playing and Angie made us some Beef and Barley stew. It was pretty good. Autumn ate it, Millie had pizza.

After dinner, we did a little happy birthday song and had leftover Valentine Cake for Autumn. She enjoyed it. She had seconds on cake which Autumn rarely ever does.

I am mostly packed up, we will head out tomorrow morning sometime. I think the girls are ready to go home and I think Angie's girls are ready for us to head home too! HA HA

I am tinkering around with Angie's fan. It is giving me a hard time. The light won't turn on at all now. GRRRRRRR!!!

Autumn told me tonight that the next time she talks to you, she is going to tell you "I am five."

I wanted to post some sappy pictures of her at 1, 2, 3, 4 and now 5, but that will have to come another day.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 107 (is that right?) of is this ever going to end????

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.
