8 miles.

This morning I took the girls to school. Talked to a postal employee about my dilemma with Sarah Marie. They said they would keep an eye out for it and deliver it for me. Thank goodness!

Then I ran. I bumped into two parents from Autumn's class out on the trail. Brody's mom and dad. She asked me how far I was going, I had just finished 5 miles and told her 8. I'm happy to say that I only walked once and it was 2/10ths of a mile.

I picked the girls up from school and got a message from Pearl wanting to meet at the park. We grabbed some lunch and headed over to Psalmond Road Rec area. The girls played for about 2 hours.

We came home and I tried to nap, but that wasn't happening. The girls were just not going to let me!

4 pm, Millie falls asleep on the couch! Bad girl.

We are headed to church in a little bit, so I figured I should type to you now.

Everyone keeps posting pictures of snow and it makes me miss the snow.

Why are you doing this to me? photo 07PreWhitewash.jpg
Remember this? Autumn's first whitewash!

Two years later...

We trade snow for t-shirts in the month of October.

Crazy hair and nose pickers.... still October.

I guess no matter where we live, they will always be our Alaska grown.

So I wouldn't give this picture up!

I guess that at least if this is our life now, we are taking advantage of it!

Thanks for that walk down memory lane.

I love you Sean James Jordan.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 117 days of dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you... and snow.

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...
