You know that thing I do every time you deploy?

Man, I don't even want to finish this post.

So back to that thing I do EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU DEPLOY.............

Whoops! I need to get back into my routine of driving the Jeep every Monday. I went to start it today, since it was warm outside and I could immediately tell that the battery was dead.

Autumn was very observant and quite interested in what was going on, so I shared as much information as I could. I used the charger and initially put the prong things on the wrong terminals, despite telling myself not to do that. I had Autumn step back when I plugged it in. I heard a popping sound and disconnected immediately. I sort of realized what I did as I did it. I put the prong things on the correct terminal and plugged it back in. It was charging. I waited about 5 minutes.

Pointed out the dip stick, the engine coolant, the windshield wiper fluid. Seriously, Autumn was interested at the engine compartment of the Jeep. You should try to involve her more with that sort of stuff.

I had her step down and go back to her chair while I tried to start the car again. It started. Sweet! I let it run in the driveway while I loaded the girls car seats. We went and got gas (NC) so I could be sure to drive it some this week.

We finally went back to Cherry Berry.

It was SO hot today.

I tried to talk the girls into going on a hike and Autumn told me she just wanted to go home.

Twirling x scary.

We shall go for a hike tomorrow. I think I'm going to take them where you and I went hiking alone. I think that hike will be fairly easy for them and me, plus we'll get to see some waterfalls.

We did church this morning, lunch, nap time, iguana's. I'm ready for bed. Exhausted doesn't even cover it.

I love you.

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...
