Antibiotics and sunshine.

I took the Outback in this morning to get serviced.

We have 4 free service maintenances on it, so 2 more left.

They had a little play area in there.


Millie built a tower and then


Wrote me letters.

Yes, this is the child who claims she cannot read. She writes and spells on her own.

She remarked that her "g" and "e" look the same. HA!!

I've been feeling pretty bad.

I cried myself to sleep last night.

I tried really hard not to cry, but I just had to get it out.

There is something about the combination of not feeling well and being overly tired.

I suppose that phenomenon doesn't happen to men.

Man, could you imagine if it did?

I would probably not like you as much, huh?

Anyway,

What did the doctor order for my sinus infection?

Antibiotics and sunshine


It was warm and sunny.














We stopped and picked honey suckles.

Honey suckles bring me back to my childhood.

Their smell will always remind me of cool summer nights (in Connecticut) and fireflies.

While I was picking them for the girls (I don't trust the snakes),

I turn around to hand one to Millie when I see a tick on her.

I flicked it off and once we got back on the trail,

I did a tick check.

When we got back to the Jeep, I did another tick check.

I'm feeling much better.

Going to eat some leftover curry soup.

Take a shower.

Go to bed.

Tomorrow.

Well tomorrow will be all about some sunshine and strawberries.

I love 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...
