It is Veteran's Day.

This is how the littlest Jordan gets in the car. Don't even bother trying to get the door for her! She can do it herself!

I really like to wear oddball socks. The more unconventional they are, the better for me.

Photobucket
I think part of the intrigue for me is that you can be wearing just about anything under your clothes and only you know!

Photobucket
Like these socks for instance! One of my favorites! So, Sean Jordan, just another item I would like to add to my birthday/Christmas wish list... socks!

Before we headed out for church this morning, I snapped off a few photos of the girls.

Silly Millie.

We ended up leaving her real glasses in the car because she was going back and forth between glasses and I did not want her doing that with them at church.

The girls wore those glasses inside and all the way to their classrooms.

During service today, they did that thing where if you were a Veteran, stand up and people came and shook your hand. It was sort of funny to see and hear the responses from people when they saw me stand up. A lot of people were surprised. I guess it is sort of like the silly socks. It is one of those things that I wear on the inside of me and don't put it on display very often. It was nice to be recognized though. I know you aren't one for recognition, but it is nice to just get an acknowledgement. Sometimes it is like it never happened, but it did and because it did, I am the wife I am now and a mother.

After church was over, Autumn requested to eat at Olive Garden.

The girls both ate spaghetti and salad. Sorry for the bad pictures, cell phone!!

Photobucket
They both did such an excellent job that they earned some

Photobucket
Ice cream! Now why they both ate it like animals, I will never know!

So, we had a nice time at church, a nice time at Olive Garden. Autumn is drawing right now, Millie is napping. Millie is coming down with whatever it is that I have. I am getting ready to lay down. Autumn has AWANA tonight and it is unlikely I will get back on here after church.

I hope that you have had a nice veteran's day. I love you and miss you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 9 days of missing 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...
