Under Pressure

By -

I've been walking in the evening after I put the girls to bed.

We've been having such pleasant evenings here.

The temperatures are probably in the lower 60s.

I wish I was disciplined enough to get up and run early in the mornings, when it is still dark out.

This week is teacher appreciation week and the girls were to bring in flowers for their teachers.


Aren't they adorable?

After getting everyone to school,


I did a 5k.

Then I went to

Torture therapy. Actually, this one is not too bad.

You just have to pull the tops of those (they are velcroed on there) and try to get down to as few squares as possible.

Kind of like that game at cracker barrel.

I always get down to four.

I cannot seem to figure out how to do better than that.

The therapist gave me a mini massager to use at home.

After running a bunch of errands, I picked up Millie and then got to work on the strawberries.


I took your advice and froze them in a single layer before


Sealing them in a bigger freezer bag.

I think they are going to go great in my smoothies.

Or even ice cream!

After grabbing Autumn, we did homework and I got to work on


The deck. Before.

Voila!


I forgot to ask you a question about the sprayer I bought for the fence.

There is one in the garage and it has something in it.

I swear that is the one I bought.

Do you know what is in that?

I am going to seal the fence later this week and I need to know if I should just go and by a new sprayer.

It is crazy how the pressure washer can do that!

I'm getting ready to grill some chicken, make some rice/green beans.

Then headed to your mom's to check on cats.

Then to church.

OK, I'm out.

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...
