Happy November

I'm always happy and sad to see November come.  Sad because Halloween, my most favorite holiday, is over.  Happy because Black Friday is only 24 days away.  Sad because snow is now unevitable.  Happy because we Fall back, and I love me some extra sleep.  Sad because I have to drive to work in the snow...wait, did I mention that already?  I hate the snow, especially after last year's accident. 

October went by in a flash, and we had some good times.  This last week I volunteered with PJ's Babycakes' booth at Boo at the Zoo.  Welcome to Hogwarts!  I was Harry Potter, and I gotta say, it was pretty dead on.  I just need to work on my more maculine voice for next year. 

One of my favorite things about Halloween is handing out candy and seeing all the costumes.  Hey, doing this, I pretty much saw every costume in Lincoln, good times.  Here were some of my faves: all of the pirates, vampires and Harry Potter's of course, a homemade beatbox, and the best one: a girl was wearing black and white striped tights with ruby red shoes, and on top was a house.  Get it?  Wicked witch with a house dropped on her.  Very creative, however it didn't appear to be very user friendly...but then again, aren't the best costumes? 

Harper dressed as a cute little bee.  She had some concerns with it at first, but once she realized that she was getting candy out of the deal, she jumped on board.  Here are a few pictures from Halloween, and some randoms from the month as well.

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 ...
