Rough Start.

By -
We survived the airplane ride from Alaska to South Carolina. Autumn did great. She was even a hit on the airplane. She slept through the first leg and during the second leg she got restless, so I let her crawl up and down the aisle. Some of the old people leaned over and pet Autumn's head as she crawled on by. The very last leg, she was tired of it all and fussed a little bit, but not much.

Since we have been in South Carolina, my phone has stopped working. I got extremely ill and dad had to take me to the Hospital. Autumn came with because she was sick too. I wanted the doctor to check her out more so than myself, but I looked like hell (I didn't realize this until after our visit). Anyway, they tested Autumn for RSV and the flu-both negative. They tested me for Flu and Pneumonia-both negative. I have bronchitis. They put me on four medications and I am just now starting to feel better.

Autumn took her first few steps a few days ago, but I missed it. Grandma C. witnessed it. I am hoping she will do it again soon so I can get a video.

We are missing Sean terribly. My heart breaks to think that he may be spending Thanksgiving all alone. Autumn misses her dad too. I show her his photo every day and she says da da every time. We cannot wait to get home and see you Sean.

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...
