Finally, almost home!

Less than 24 hours until you get home. I am so excited to see you again. I wonder if I will recognize you? Autumn had quite a day. She fell at the gym this morning and busted her nose. It bled a little bit. Then she smacked the top of her head on some equipment, then she fell at McDonald's and hit her forehead, then she fell on the pavement and scraped her hands. My poor child has had a very rough day.

I noticed something on the back of Autumn's head this evening and I thought for sure it was a tick. It kind of freaked me out. This was the best photo I could get of it.

I did not want to take her to the emergency room to be told it was a scab or something, but I didn't want to leave a tick on the back of her head either. SO, after a quick call to Dr. Travis, we decided on a consult. Dr. Travis said it was definitely a scab. How or where she got this scab from is completely beyond me.

After totally disturbing Dr Travis and Cindy on their kid free date, excuse me their supposed kid free date, we went home and played around a little bit. Autumn loves to take the balloon and "talk" into it. I think the vibrations on her lips amuses her.
Balloon fun
It looks pretty silly.

Then I tried to get a photo of the two of us and this was the best one I could get.
Cherish and Autumn
I need you to take some photos of me and Autumn when you get back so I can update my profile pictures.

I am so glad you are coming home tomorrow. It has been too long since I saw you last. I am looking forward to a great big hug. See you soon.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

The Count:
Cherish
23 Days without you.

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...
