Crazy Life

OK so I really need to update more on my blog. Our lives have been extremely crazy the last week or so. Phillip is getting ready to start his new job out at Clear Air Base about 80 miles from our home. So he has been running around trying to get out processed from Active Duty Air Force and inprocessed into Active Duty Guard. He really hasn't been home very much when the girls have been awake. It suprises me when he walks in the door and the girls go running to greet him with lots of "I love you Daddy"'s and great big bear hugs. I don't think that I could ever imagine my life without our children. They really do bring such joy to our lives. Liberty was playing with Cheyenne and I heard her laughing. I went into the living room to find out what she was doing and to my astonishment Liberty had plucked one of my flowers from my arrangment that was on the table and had put it on Cheyenne's head. It was pretty cute. This was one moment I was glad that I didn't have to search for my digital camera.

I was looking out my back porch the other day and my heart sunk. A little bit of background; this summer has been wetter than any other summer I can remember. We have lived in interior Alaska for 3 years now and most of the time we have to worry about fires. This year has defininately been an exception. I feel like we live in Seattle WA. It has rained almost non-stop for two weeks. My yard is starting to look like a jungle. Anyway, I looked out my back porch and saw a bush already starting to change into fall colors! I am so not ready for winter yet and our -50 degree weather, and I really hope that the winter stays the course and doesn't start flying until the end of October. I have so many things I have to do around the house before the snow starts flying. Anyway, here's a picture of my colorful bush.
