Sweet friends.

What a lazy morning! I went to bed about 1 am and woke up at 617 am. Autumn and Millie wake up almost the same time every day regardless what time they go to bed.

I played monsers with my mom until it was time to feed the kids.

Everyone did a great job of eating their lunch.

I did some clean up around the house and then took the kids to the park.

Millie the climber.

Why does she have to swing before sliding?

Or go head first?

They loved the tire swing. I am pretty sure we spent an hour on it.

Higher! Faster! I only made them spin a few times. Millie flung right off the tire swing. Whoops!! You should have seen the dirty looks I got from the other mom's. Millie was tough though. She told me to put her back on and do it again.

Aren't they cute?

Sweet friends. You should hear them when they are all together.

Millie was a little scary out there, but she attempted everything. I had to keep a close eye on her and try not to be a helicopter mom. I felt a lot of pressure to though.

Overall, she had a great time. They all got super dirty though.

Oh to be so sweet, innocent and young again. It makes my heart happy to see them have moments like these.

We came home, took a bath and are now getting ready for supper. I love you and I miss you.

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.
