More Christmas Cheer!

By -
Autumn and I went to Cindy's mom and dad's house this afternoon. It was a rough start for Autumn since she only had about an hour nap (after going to bed at 9pm and waking up at 5am), but once she warmed up, things were much better!

The food was wonderful and surprisingly cooked ahead of schedule!! I enjoyed too much, but I can proudly say that Travis still has a bigger tummy than me!!!

I didn't think to take any pictures while at Cindy's, but Cindy did, so there may be a few more later. I want to show you the gifts Autumn and I received.

Ornament
Cindy gave me this ornament with my all time favorite Autumn and Dylan photo. It was a close one because I nearly started crying. It was such a thoughtful gift.

Autumn received another book:
Hello New baby
Hello New Baby. I hope it has some lessons in there about how to be nice to New Human #2!!

Valerie and Paul gave Autumn:
Shopping cart
This shopping cart. It was a huge hit among the kids, especially Autumn. The basket part comes out so that she could tote it around if she wants and it even has a spot for her baby. There is a giant bag of groceries that go in there, but they are still in a bag on the counter right now!

Evil Autumn
Evil look was not included!

Cindy, Dylan and Travis gave Autumn:
Book bag tote
This cute tote!!!! It doubles as a back pack. Autumn LOVES it and it came with a kitty cat.

Tote
Another look at it.

Dishwasher Autumn
Autumn's dress. I love this dress. I sure will feel sad to part with it.

Cherish and Autumn
Me and Autumn together.

I was trying to get a comparison shot of Autumn last December and this December and well, this is as good as it gets.

Photobucket
Baldy Autumn December 2008 (10 months old).

Comparison photo
Less baldy Autumn December 2009 (22 months old).

So, after a very long day, I'm off to bed. I love you and I hope you have enjoyed all the photos. I wish we could have talked to you today, but know you were on our minds and in our hearts.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman.

Still 54 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...
