We are at McChord.

I'm so exhausted! We made it though! My room in billeting is awesome! I'm currently washing dirty clothes. Autumn took a bath and is now in bed. She is done in too. We are leaving tomorrow for Eielson AFB, Alaska. Once we get there, we are going to take a shuttle or cab (hopefully shuttle) to Fairbanks and then flying Alaska Air to Anchorage. The ticket will be 150 bucks. I think that is reasonable since I would have spent at least that much staying in a hotel until I could get a flight out of here to Travis and then who knows how long I would wait at Travis for a flight to Elmo.

The only thing I'm nervous about is we are flying to Eielson on a C5.......

At Dover, this is where Autumn slept:
Sleeping arrangements.
I slept in the chair- maybe two hours. That grouchy old SMSgt went around and woke us all up and told us we were not allowed to sleep in the terminal either. He sucked. He told some vets they looked like homeless people and really upset a bunch of people.

The food at Dover:
Food at Dover
Autumn ate junk food at the terminal- it was all they had!! She didn't seem to mind.

Our boxed lunch on the C17:
Photobucket
Was pretty good. Autumn ate both apples, the nutrigrain bars, water, and Potato chips were a huge success.

Soda holder
Did you know those things in the floor were soda holders?

Chip eater
Autumn loves Space A. I'm a little wore out, but will survive. Would love your advice about tomorrow if you can call me. I'm on Pacific time now. Please let me sleep in if you can.

Love your favorite wife and airman.

The count: 35 Days.

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
