10-2-10

I cannot believe it's October already!  Although, I am digging the fall weather.  I hate it when the seasons decide to go from summer, to a week of fall, and straight into winter and, ugh, snow...Although, I did hear someone at work say snow was predicted for later this month...but then again, what else is new?

We went from the flu to colds.  I was so psyched to have stayed healthy after Erich and Harper got sick, but alas, my multivitamin theory was a bust, as I am sick.  It's currently just an annoying scratchy throat, but I had something similar when I was pregnant last fall, and it turned into the most miserable cold of my life.  Le sigh. 

On Thursday I took a half day from work so my mom and I could attend our public library's annual sale of discontinued books.  it's probably my favorite sale of the year, I love it more than Black Friday.  I mean, it's a room full of books at "cheap" prices, plus they have records and cds and movies, and well, it's just plain awesome.  My problem is that I buy these treasures that I find, and then don't read them.  Case in point, while preparing for this sale, I found the bag of books I bought last year...I maybe read one of them.  Which leads me to my problem.  Hi, my name is Susie, and I am a chronic book buyer and not reader.  I don't get why, but if I see a good deal on a book I am only kinda interested in, it feels wrong not to buy it...I know I'm not the only one out there, and I have gotten better, but it's definitely a problem when it comes to storage of said books. This year I only purchased 7 books, as well as a kids book for Harper, and two VHS tapes of Sesame Street.  All for $9! A steal if you ask me!  But I digress...

So, one of the videos I got is rather sentimental for me, as it's the same one my nephew was addicted to when he was little...my little baby nephew who will be 18 next month.  I cannot believe it, as it seems just like yesterday my sister was going into labor, and I was pissed because I was going to have to walk the 6 blocks to school that morning for choir practice...I was always the loving sister, can't you tell?  The fam is all coming over for dinner tonight, so I'm going to surprise him by playing the tape.  Surprisingly enough, I remembered the words to almost all the songs--here's a link to my favorite one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJsgtoizj8.

Speaking of family, I am making dinner, and I'm pretty sure I ruined the chili because I added red pepper powder instead of chili powder, and apparently there's a difference.  I got online to find a solution to my hot hot dish and got distracted...go figure.  OK, off to fix my dish!

Booker's First Birthday

While he didn't get to go to Disneyworld with us, he did get a pretty high flyin' party.  I may have gone a leeetle overboard with the party.  But hey, you only turn once right, and he may be my last :( Our theme was, Time Flies, and we used my Uncle's vintage toy plane for the invites.  Pretty cute kiddo.  It was also pre haircut, so he still looked like a baby. Of course I can't find that picture, so here is this one.  He's still cute.   Just a small party with family, and he had a great time.  He has already changed so much since this day.  He was just starting to make words and now can say Mama, Dada, Harper, Abs, Dude, and a lot of signs.  He also loves to dance, and is seriously the most cuddly sweet boy you will meet.  We love our little Bubba!

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll...

Harper Jay Kant has arrived!

The wait is over! On June 9th, at 5:40 pm, Harper Jay Kant entered the world, weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches long! I am so happy to have her in my arms, as is Erich. During the pregnancy, I made the comment on multiple occasions that I bed I'd pay for it during labor, and boy did I...and so the story goes: Tuesday I began having contractions around noon, but nothing that was progressive or in any order, so we decided to just keep our plan to go in at 7:30 to be induced. I was admitted around 8, and the "ripening" agent was started. I was checked around 12 and had progressed enough to warrant starting the Pitocin (around 1). Contractions began, but I really couldn't feel much; it was a long night and I was too excited to sleep (especially after the nurse commented that with these contractions I could be pushing by 7 that morning...I knew it was too good to be true) so I spent the evening with the Lost crew from Season 2, and waking Erich ...
