Spaghetti dinner

By -
Autumn and I are beginning a new chapter of our lives this week. Potty training. I don't know how it is going to go or if she will graduate, but we are going to give it a shot and see what happens.

Last night we had spaghetti dinner.

Autumn's spaghetti dinner
Autumn couldn't wait to get started on her dinner.

My spaghetti dinner
I enjoyed my dinner immensely.

Good.
Autumn kept trying to wipe her hands between each bite. Sometimes her OCD is annoying.

really good.
Despite having Parmesan cheese on her hands, she did enjoy her food!

The temperature has dropped drastically today. When we left the house this morning (at 10 am), it was 28 degrees. When we were on our way home (at 1230 pm) it was 9 degrees. I'm not sure how this temperature drop is going to affect our new years eve plan to watch the fireworks at Towne Square, but I think we will still brave the elements because I think Autumn will like the fireworks.

Today we got out of the house by going to the mall. Autumn enjoys running up and down the ramps, saying hi to all the stuffed bears in the mall.

Juice break
We had a quick lunch at the food court and headed home.

I've been watching Dexter Season 3 and only have four episodes left, then I will mail it to you along with Autumn's Christmas pictures.

I wanted to tell you that today new human #2 was moving enough that you could see him from the outside. Well, Autumn was sitting next to me and saw it and she said, "ewwwwwwwwwww!!!" It was hysterical. I've been having bad dreams about my ultrasound next week and this movement today reassured me that everything is going OK with the pregnancy.

I love you and miss you. Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

58 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...
