Movies, spaghetti and wine.

It has been rainy today. It started lightning and thundering last night. I was OK with that. The girls and I really needed a down day. We rented:

The Adventures of TinTin on Blu-ray and the quality of the picture was so good that Autumn didn't believe it was a cartoon at first. I really enjoyed the movie and would watch it again.

I also rented Hugo, but I'm going to watch that tonight.

Autumn square pants came to our room last night and demanded to sleep with me. I told her that she is not allowed to sleep in our room anymore, that I would walk her back to her room every time, so she might as well stay in her bed. Then she tells me that she just misses you and that she wants to talk to you, so we called to leave you a message. I'm not sure how well you will be able to hear the girl on your voice mail and it took us two tries. The first time she didn't understand you wouldn't be on the other line (OK, I'll admit, that was completely a Cherish fail). She kept saying, "Daddy, where are you? Why aren't you talking? Then the phone hung up on us, so I don't even know if that message was left or not. We called again and she said, "Daddy, I love you and I miss Miss Keri and Miss Tricia." I took Autumn back to her room and she slept there through the night.

Miss Millie is still doing excellent. She has been asking for you, but she is easily distracted. She had a really good day of potty training today, no accidents and she even told me this time when she needed to go number two! That is a huge improvement over yesterday. It seems to go that way though. We'll have 3 or 4 really good days, followed by one bad day and repeat. I'll take it!

For dinner tonight, I had wine. Just kidding! I didn't even open that. I couldn't. There is no way I could drink an entire bottle of wine by myself. We had spaghetti, garlic bread and I had a salad too. Autumn fell asleep while I was cooking dinner, so Millie and I went on and ate without her. Millie totally swiped Autumn's garlic bread! I'm assuming payback for Autumn taking Millie's crescent roll the other day.

Autumn is still asleep now. I hope she is just really tired and not getting sick. We have a game tomorrow, if it doesn't get rained out. I am still hoping that you will be able to call tonight or at least soon. I love you and miss you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

22 wineless 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...
