Take a moment to breathe.

It has been a busy day. Autumn had a 9 am follow up appointment with her pediatrician and that went well.

Autumn was happily entertaining Millie (who was sitting in my lap) by playing peek a boo through the different slots in that chair. Emelia thought it was hysterical.

The girls have been getting along quite well.

They have been a bit tired though. I think they are getting a slight cold. I guess it is mostly from all this weather change. 80 degrees one day and then 57 the next.

Our doctor told me a little bit about what to expect in an upcoming visit for Autumn and I'm feeling really anxious and stressed out about it. I've called the nurse that is handling our case and left a message and hoping to hear back from her soon. I guess as long as it is before the appointment it doesn't matter when they call me back. I've sent you the information that the doctor gave me and I'm wondering what your thoughts on the matter are.

After the doctors appointment, we ran to Walmart to get the snacks for Autumn's class this week. It's our turn. Then we had lunch at home and your mom came over. We promptly left and ended up going all over creation to find athletic clothes for Autumn. Her first soccer practice is this week. I have to tell you, I was very disappointed. Every store we went to had a huge selection of boys athletic clothes, but if there was any girl stuff at all, it was super short shorts. I wouldn't and know you don't approve of Autumn or Millie wearing super short shorts. I settled for a pair of pants at Target that were on clearance for $4 and they'll work for this week, but I think I'm going to have to look online for something better.

Anyway, I'm really missing you and wishing you were here to calm my nerves and tell me what I should do about this appointment with Autumn. I'm so glad your mom will be available to go with me.

Wishing to be reunited with 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...
