Day Two

By -
This morning when I went to get Autumn out of her bed, she was crying. The moment she saw me, she started smiling, big! I played with her for a moment and realized something was not right. I noticed an awful smell. I stood up and bent over into the crib and that is when I realized why she had been crying. She had thrown up all over the crib, all over her blanket, all over her pajamas. I do not know how, but Sly and Airborne Steve made it out unscathed. I stripped down the bed, Autumn, threw the pillow away and started washing clothes and what not. Autumn is not running a fever, she has not thrown up all day long. I think that she just had an upset stomach from something she ate. I replaced her pillow and this time, I covered her pillow with a vinyl lining, a hypo allergenic cover, then the pillow case. This is what the new digs look like:

Apparently Autumn did not think that our room was Tiggeriffic enough, so she did this:

Fixing up our room.

We warmed up a little bit today. Minus 3. We had a little bit of snow (not enough to shovel). We are supposed to get 1 to 4 inches tonight.

Travis is coming by tomorrow to put in my light bulb on my car.

We are having leftovers for dinner (I am anyway, Autumn will have some pasta).

Autumn called my mom today. I tried to get the phone from her, but she took off-laughing. When I got the phone from her, I realized she had actually dialed out to my mom. My mom called me back and was like, did you call? It was pretty funny.

Rebecca is going to pick up Mac from Ft Hood today. I am so glad he is finally home. He has been gone way too long!! Welcome Home Mac!!!

I'll close with this:

Autumn and lambshanks.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman

Oh, poor miss Autumn and her upset tummy!
I can't imagine living somewhere that cold. The most I have experienced was a few days in November in Utah. Other than that, I have spent my life in Florida. Did you grow up in cold weather, or is that something you've had to adjust to?

We moved here from Texas and I grew up in South Carolina. It was a big adjustment!!!!!!

Whoa! That must have been quite an adjustment! I think Texas is beautiful by the way (the parts i sw, at least). That's where my husband and I went on our honeymoon- to San Antonio!

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...
