Erich & I celebrated our one year anniversary on Sunday. We had a pretty low-key anniversary weekend, compared to what we planned on. I ruined everything by getting sick on Friday, so our plans to go to Omaha Saturday night for dinner and drinks sort of went out the window. Saturday we spent mostly at home, I went to some garage sales with my mom so Erich could sleep in with Abbey. I got home and we then headed out to use our new Sam's Club membership. I swear the jar of cheese balls followed us everywhere, but never quite made it into the cart. That night we watched Gran Torrino, and then I gave Erich his anniversary present early--Mario Kart. Everywhere we have gone he's wanted to buy it, and I've had to convince him each time not to since I had it hidden at home. So, we stayed up way too late playing that. Sunday we went to York for some church, and picked up our leftover wedding cake from Erich's parents. We had so many compliaments on this cake, and both of us didn't really get any, other than our staged first bites. It was pretty tasty, even if it was a year old and not packaged very well :) We both had Monday off so we slept in a little and then headed to Omaha for a zoo trip. We figured it would be pretty slow since it was free admission all weekend. We we're way off. By 10 it was packed; maybe this is the norm for a Monday morning, but I doubt it. We had a good time nonetheless, the animals were pretty sleepy though. Except for the golden headed tamarin who got up close and personal during a picture; they were jumping behind my head and Erich is just laughing. I'm pretty sure I'm eyeing that little guy in the picture. The rain also held off until we left, which was nice. We then went to NFM to look for lamps--funny thing about our house: no overhead lighting in most of the rooms, so we have come to buy lamps whenever they're a good deal. We found a set of 4 that will work, so we were happy with that. All in all, good times. My sister is in town this week, and then we're watching her kids this coming weekend while her and the BIL are going to MO for a canoeing trip. I get the feeling it will be a Mario Kart and delivery pizza weekend. I was planning on Star City Shores, lets hope the weather cooperates.
So, welcome to 2013! January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired. Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind. And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it. Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring. Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it. The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...
