Home, sweet home.

Millie had no accidents in the car on the way to or the way home from my mom's house. I was very pleased with the girl. Twice it took me longer than 30 minutes to find a toilet and that second time, I thought for sure the girl had gone, but she didn't. Seriously, very proud of a Miss Millie.

I was pretty sure this drive was going to be mostly stormy, but it wasn't bad. Between you, my mom and my sisters, I was pretty well entertained most of the day.

Georgia was on my mind....

When we came home, the first thing I observed... the grass needed to be cut. So after I unpacked the car and the suitcases, I went and took care of the front yard. I'm too tired to do the backyard tonight.

While I was cutting the grass, I suppose Millie took it upon herself to treat herself. I walked inside to check on the girls and Millie had taken ALL the pixy sticks that came in her goodie bag from Katie's birthday party and dumped them in a bowl (there was like 20 of them). Once they were all in the bowl, Millie began eating it by the spoonful. WOW!!!!!!!!!

Autumn was up to her own bag of tricks.

Photobucket
Lifesaver worms mainly.

The second thing I observed, the weather felt wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We found an item or two that Autumn requires for Halloween.

Photobucket
This is us shopping for it.

Photobucket
Cat tights to wear under her witches uniform and today, we found a cinnamon broom at Publix for $4 (Autumn paid for $1 of it because she wanted to).

Now for the rest of the pictures from the pool party.

Can I just say that I am NOT ready for this stage of a girls life??

A good shot of Autumn.

Mid air.

One of the only pictures I can find of Autumn without the life vest and in water over her head. Not sure what happened there. I thought I got several pictures of her in the water, I guess none of them were very remarkable though. She jumped in near the slope, the water was definitely over her head.

Here she is swimming to the side in the deep end.

Scooting along.

There you have it. We are home. The girls are bathed. I'm going to shower myself in a moment. I love you and miss you so much.

Your current wife and favorite 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.

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...
