April Fools!

April is going to be one busy month, so this may very well be my only post for the month.  Let's hope it's not as busy as I'm expecting.  This weekend we're doing Harper's 9 month/Easter photos on Saturday, then on to Omaha on Sunday to meet Miss Emily Ballou, who was born on March 3rd.  So excited to meet her!  And I'm excited to see her parents as well I guess :)  The following weekend is Erich's brother's wedding in Hildreth (near Kearney).  We leave Friday for the rehearsal dinner, so we're making a pitstop in Hastings to visit my Dad and Grandma.  The following Monday is Erich's birthday, and I think we plan on a nice lunch, then he's going to golf, and I'll likely nap...Harper?  Probably at daycare.  Don't judge.  The rest of the weekends involve a golf tournament in Kearney (just Erich and some Pikes), Easter, family visits, and getting our house ready for my nephew's graduation party.  Ugh, I'm tired just reading this.

Harper has been having some sleep issues recently, she just can't seem to get into a routine and is up at random times.  Some days it's 5-6, some nights it's 1230/1.  Then sometimes she goes back to sleep immediately, others she's up for good.  It's starting to take a toll on all of us I think.  It could be due to teething, or an upset stomach, or too small pjs, who knows!?  I may regret saying this later on, but I'm ready for her to talk!  I should just quit complaining, everyone else's kids are sick and getting tubes and constant infections; I can deal with a little sleep issue I guess.

I ordered some pictures of Harper the other day; I hadn't done so since November, so I wasn't surprised to find a huge box when I picked them up...I guess 200+ photos don't fit in the regular envelopes.  I just have such a hard time choosing pictures, so I order them all!  I got a steal from Walgreens on them, so no worries.  However, my failure to choose pictures is the reason Erich will be accompanying us to JC Penneys tomorrow for Harper's pictures.  I may be a little more decisive with someone other than the sales clerk giving me their opinions.  Now will I take it?  Who knows...

I haven't uploaded any March photos yet, so I'll have to leave another post with just photos.  I forgot I had uploaded some videos from when she was teeny tiny, so here's a link to one (and will lead you to my account, and other videos).  More to come there :)

Groundhog's Day

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 ...

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!

Back at it

When I started this blog, I knew my number one issue was going to be consistently updating it.  I didn't think I'd take a 4 year hiatus,  yet here we are... I stumbled into a friend's post, which motivated me to get back into the writing vs just scrolling--i.e. Facebook and Insta etc.  I make no promises to be timely with posts, but I'm hoping with Booker in preschool in the mornings (and school full time in the Fall-gulp) I may be able to make a better go of it. After a lot of deliberation with Erich, I decided to leave my job after 14 years.  It was a tough decision, because I really enjoyed the people, but the work itself had dwindled due to other circumstances, and I was bored.  So bored.  And the more I sat in front of the screen, the more I grew to hate the job.  So it was time for something new.  I had always wanted to be a stay at home mom with Harper, but financially it just didn't work.  Fast forward 6 years and we found we could ...
