Catching snow.

Autumn and I have been extremely lazy. I cannot explain it, but I just cannot shake this tired feeling. I have just been trying to sleep whenever I can. Autumn is a demanding little human though and she makes it kind of hard to rest. She isn't use to being in the house so much, it just isn't the way our family operates. If things keep going well, we are still going to go out tomorrow for the running of the reindeer. I may or may not put Autumn in the stroller for that. We will have to see about the snow situation.

It is supposed to be cold today. High of 20. I wanted to take Autumn to see some of the dog races today, but I just don't know if that is going to work out or not. We will see how I feel in another hour or so.

Angie took the following photo (I believe that night I went to Labor and Delivery) and I just love this picture of Autumn and Riley.

Autumn and Riley.
They look like mirror images with their stuffed animals, books and blankets! Thank you for the photo Angie and thanks again for keeping Autumn for me so I could go to the hospital. I'm so glad the girls are starting to get along better!!

Autumn loves walking in the snow. When I finally cannot take her whining to go outside anymore, I shove her out the front door. Oh, I'm just kidding, I don't actually shove her!!

Snow Angel
She is so happy to be outside!!

For the first time since you have deployed, I hope that I do not hear from you tonight. Not hearing from you means that you are finally making progress on your trek home. I love you and miss you bunches.

Your Favorite wife and airman. xoxo

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...
