Precious Moments

By -
Separately, I took the girls to our room and they wrapped a gift for the other. They were walking around all day with their presents and I told them that if they did a good job today, they could open them tonight.

I overheard Autumn tell Millie: I like your present the best because you made it for me.

The sunrise was pretty awesome this morning.

This picture does not even do it justice, but you get the idea.

I was with the girls for Sunday school this morning. During Sunday school, a girl chucked a wooden apple at Autumn's face and gave her a fat lip. She bled. Suddenly, I was very happy I was the one in there with her.

When it was time for service, I sat with your mom and dad. Your dad's stomach was growling so loudly, everyone around us was snickering. I pulled out a candy bar from my purse (that the girls picked up and slipped in my cart the last time I was at the grocery store), but he turned it down. I wish he would have taken it because I was having such a hard time staying focused and trying so hard not to laugh.

After church, I took the girls to lunch. We came home and all of us took a nap. After nap time, the girls took a bath. I did some house work and when they go to bed, I'll make the Christmas cookies. I want them to be nice and cool for tomorrows festivities.

Please, please, pretty please!

Autumn was so excited about this. It gives me hope that Christmas morning is going to blow her mind! Great job picking this gift out for Autumn Millie!

Millie's turn.

Can you tell she is excited. She needed a little help opening it.

Daisy!

After opening gifts, we made some hot cocoa to go, climbed in the car and drove the hood looking at Christmas lights. The girls had fun and took turns standing in the moon roof. Tomorrow will be a busy day, cooking and prepping for Christmas Eve. Aurora will bring the girls their Christmas pj's and a letter telling them good bye. Can you believe it is almost Christmas eve. I will probably have to drug myself to sleep!!! I love you Sean Jordan. I wish you were here.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 51 days of wishing you home for Christmas.

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...
