Daddy, I miss you.

The girl's $5 swim suits from Target.

That was too good a deal to pass up.

Autumn received her report card today.


I hope you can see that.

She has had no absences or tardy's and she received all A's on her progress report.

When we came home from school, we did homework and then I fixed an early dinner because I needed to go to your mom's house to make a delivery and I needed to be at church early.


We had roasted carrots, pan seared chicken and rice for dinner.

I hope I ate enough. I have an 8 mile run tomorrow.


Julie sent your mom and dad flowers for their 44th anniversary.

Millie held the flowers all the way there and then Autumn delivered them.

While at your mom's and dad's house, your dad told the girl's he had some pirate booty to share with them.

They picked out little trinkets and what not, but then your dad pulled out a small treasure chest.

It had your mom's diploma in it, your dad's baby book and this little gem:


Your mom wasn't sure which one of you kids made this, but personally, I think it is obvious who made it.

We left there and went to church.

Melanie, Lois and I practiced our song.

Then I left the girls for kids choir and went to service.

In the middle of the service, Melanie pulled me out and said something was wrong with Autumn.

I went and grabbed Autumn out of choir.

She was crying.

She wouldn't tell me at first what was wrong with her, so I grabbed paper and a pen and handed it to her as we sat down to finish out service.

I look over and it immediately brings tears to my eyes.


Daddy, I miss 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...
