May Day

As I predicted, April went by in a flash.  It felt like we were busy going here or there, on top of being sick.  Here's a quick rundown of what you've missed with us since we last chatted...

Kant Wedding: Erich's brother tied the knot!  It was a fun weekend full of old and new friends, lots of family, delicious wedding cake, a trolley ride and a very happy bride & groom.  We didn't have a sitter for the wedding, so I was bummed I missed out on the reception.  As luck? would have it, Harper ended up with a high fever that night, which lasted the next couple days.  Turned out to be a double ear infection, and teething.  She was not a happy kiddo.  But at least she seemed to have fun being the cutest baby of the weekend.







Speaking of being sick, it seems like all of us, sometimes even at the same time, have been sick.  I followed Harper with an ear infection and sinus infection, Erich opted for flu symptoms, and I think on top of all that we're experiencing fun allergies.  Good times all around. 

After the wedding was Erich's birthday, which got lost in the sickness.  He treated himself to some new video games, and my present was a couple afternoons to himself.  Ah, the things we consider a present after having a kid.  My birthday list? A nap!

Easter weekend was pretty low-key.  On Saturday I made what I didn't realize was a 9 pound ham...for three people.  Yikes, that's a lot of ham!  My mom came over for lunch, and we watched Harper munch on a cupcake.  Very cute, but also very messy.  Everyone is determined to give that kid desserts!  On Easter we attempted church service, but were thwarted by the mile walk that was awaiting us.  We opted for church radio, and headed to Crete for Easter with Erich's fam.  We had a nice lunch there, then the kids had an Easter egg hunt.  Harper was pretty confused.  She'd find an egg, and then try to dump all the others out of the basket.  She also got to play with her cousin Max, which is the closest in age to her, and I daresay she will outgrow him in a matter of months. 
















This weekend we didn't have to do anything. No travelling, no working, it.was.awesome.  Saturday I spent the day reading my book--I am into The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  It's a Young Adult series, with three books.  My description doesn't do it justice, so go to bn.com and read their synopsis.  It's a good, quick read.  And I am obsessed with it.  Saturday night we met up with some work friends at the roller derby.  It was actually kind of fun.  Those girls can beat some bitches down!  It was really the people watching that I was looking forward to, and it didn't disappoint.  If you ever get the opportunity, go check it out.  The Lincoln teams play at Pershing Auditorium. 

May is going to be full of travel and graduation parties, and June we a first birthday party to plan.  I can't believe my little baby nephew is 18 and graduating...amd I also can't believe it's almost been a year since my little baby Harper was born.  It seriously has gone by way too fast.

The Hunger Games is AWESOME. Looking forward to discussing with you!! :)

Hope everyone is on the mend! I still want to hang out sometime I come to Stinkin' Lincoln, so we should set that up!

Also, Harper is just the cutest! I can't wait to see her again and give her a little squeeeeeeze!

Take care!

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 ...

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...

Snow Day

OK, we get it.  It's Nebraska and the weather is the worst.  It can stop snowing any time now.  Booker hopped into bed with us before 6, and when I checked the time on my phone, I was also surprised to see a voicemail from the school.  Whaaaat?  I have quit even looking at forecasts because the days I think should be cancelled are never the days that are.  Harper was ticked; she has chicks hatching at school people!  And Booker, he had to miss swim!  Then again, not having to leave the house is nice.  We put up a tent where they spent most of the day playing, fight free, while I did laundry and read my book and started uploading pictures to work on photo books because I have coupons expiring at month end. Tomorrow is a big day for Booker; we have his Kindergarten physical.  Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner sobbing (with Booker right next to me, because, shots.)  I feel like we just did this with Harper.  Even fo...
