Millie can read.

It is such a busy life right now.

The good news is that the girls both seem to be enjoying school.

Millie is still not looking forward to after care on Friday, but we had words about it today.

She told me that she wouldn't cry.

I told her that I would get to her as soon as my school was over and she said,

"So OK. Like 5 minutes?"

I told her no, more like two hours.

She said, "OK, so not ten minutes, but two hours and one minute."

Yes, Millie.

I promise that if it is really terrible, I will find another way.











I wasn't able to take care of my book stuff today.

I think I will leave early tomorrow and try to take are of it then.

I should be able to return both the items I need to return though.

*I think.

They are swamped at the bookstore with the beginning of classes.

I had a productive day school wise.

I finished an assignment for genetics. I finished some reading for anthropology.

If I'm not too tired, I plan to read some stuff for philosophy tonight.

If I'm too tired, I'll read it tomorrow.

My running was terrible.

I did improve my time though.

I went from 1:40 1st lap; 2 min laps 2-4 to 1:37 1st lap and 1:40 laps 2-4. I only clomped a little bit on the last lap.

I realized I forgot to eat lunch though.

We had spaghetti for dinner.

Both girls want spaghetti in their lunch boxes tomorrow.

That is simple enough.

At the dinner table, Millie says to me:

If I make smart choices, I will get my props.

I do not know where she comes up with this stuff.

Millie wanted to record this for 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...
