And they call it, puppy love.

Back in June when Autumn and I went to visit my mom and dad in Goose Creek, my mom gave Autumn a puppy dog. We couldn't bring him home with us because there was not room in my suitcase, but after this last visit, Bernie the Bernard finally made it back to Alaska. Autumn is super attached to him. She has been going to bed with him, taking a nap with him, bringing him shopping with us. Yesterday we had this photo shoot with Bernie.

Autumn wanted to nap with her friend.

So, I wanted to update my blog with a belly shot of myself. I took this photo:
18 weeks Autumn touching
Sometimes Autumn really cracks me up.

18 weeks Autumn looking ridiculous
Not a whole lot to see just yet at 18 weeks, but what was really funny was Autumn's reaction to this. She wanted a belly shot too, so.... here is hers:

Autumn's belly picture
Not sure how far along she is, but she is cute as a button isn't she!!!

We met Cindy, Travis and Dylan for dinner last night and it was a nightmare! Autumn dumped tea all over me (and yes, it looked like I wet myself!), she threw food, she screamed, she hollered, she did everything but eat her dinner. That is the last time we are going out to eat for awhile.

It is supposed to snow today/tomorrow. So far, it is just rain, which sucks because it is making everything very slippery. I have to say, this winter has been pretty sorry.

We are going to have Christmas Eve dinner tonight and tomorrow. I bought a small ham, but it is big enough to feed us for a few days. I'll take pictures of our dinner and post them tomorrow.

I am sorry that you are going to spend the holidays without us. I am going to do my best to make sure you feel included with Autumn and me. I love you and miss you terribly.

Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

Sweet girl!
Beautiful girl.

52 lonely 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.

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...
