Falling behind.

I know, I was doing so good at posting and now I am lucky to update once a week. It has been a busy time. I did one of my clinicals (follow the Radiologist around), I have to schedule one more. I finished my medical terminology class with an A and I am about half way through my anatomy/physiology class. I got my vaccines up to date today. Hard to believe I was missing any. The lovely young lady who helped me thought I was a Technical Sergeant and asked me how long was I in the Air Force. I told her six years and that my husband was the Technical Sergeant, I only made it to Staff Sergeant when I was in. Anyway, I am so close to my goal of getting into the Radiology program that I can almost taste it.

During my clinical I was surprised to hear that it was best to not mention that Sean was in the military, that they may hold that against me. I guess it is because after getting trained up, they do not want to lose a person to a military move. I certainly hope that is not true. Military families have it hard enough. At the Alaska Native Medical center, I was able to get a taste of what it would be like to be a Radiologist technician. It was very interesting to take a peek into people's insides and find things you would never suspect. One lady had four kidney's. FOUR!

OK. Enough about me. Mount Redoubt finally blew its top on Sunday. Sean left Saturday night for Ft Lewis. He is supposed to come back tonight. Some of the flights in and out have been affected by the volcano, but it looks like Sean will still make it home when he is supposed to.

Autumn has been very clingy and cranky the last two weeks or so. Her one lonely little tooth is still trying to make its way through. I have been giving her the Highlands Teething tablets and they work wonderfully. Autumn has been signing for milk. We are down to two nursing sessions a day. This morning at our Awesome Abs workout, she did the milk sign at me and I told her no, so she walked over to Mrs. Cindy and did it to her. It was kind of funny. I guess she thought Cindy might just lift up her shirt and nurse her. Autumn really does love Cindy though. Besides Sean and I, Cindy is the only other person that Autumn will cuddle with.

Well, that is it for me this evening. I am going to watch NCIS and the Mentalist. Two of my favorite shows. Sean, I hope you make it home tonight. I am leaving the front door unlocked. If any home burglars are reading this, I do have a shot gun and I am waiting for an opportunity to use it.

Love you much.

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...
