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.
