One is fun.

Today is Bowman, Anna, and Alexander's first birthday. Autumn and I cannot wait to meet them in a few weeks.

One year ago, I was 6 months pregnant and I was anxiously waiting to hear from my mother-in-law, Phyllis about Jennifer and Brett. We found out the day before that today might be the day to deliver the babies.

I was sitting in Starbucks enjoying some coffee when my cell phone rang. It was Phyllis. She told me that all the babies were here. I started crying. Really there were two reasons I was crying. One, I was so happy that the triplets made it into the world and two, I was worried about the upcoming struggle. The triplets were born 8 whole weeks early. Both the boys weighed just over 4 lbs and baby Anna weighed just over 2.5 pounds. Now, one year later, you would never even know by looking at them that they were preemies.

To my niece and nephews, Happy first birthday. You are loved all the way from Alaska!!

To Brett, you are a wonderful dad and I admire the way you take care of your family.

To Jennifer, I admire you so much as a mother. You are so strong, compassionate, patient and a wonderful friend. I love that I get to bounce ideas off of you and that you are always so kind and offer your advice to me. We cannot wait to see you guys in a few weeks.

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.

Playing with fire.

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...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
