Last Christmas...

Last weekend we visited my sister and family in KC and had our final Christmas, or maybe you would call it the first Christmas of 2012. Either way, a good time was had by all. We haven't seen them since before Thanksgiving, and so it was nice to catch up and see the kids. Harper also had fun playing with her cool cousins, their dog, and their two cats. Her biggest phrase of the weekend was to Brady, their golden retriever...Go Away! Poor dog just wanted to lick her face.  Abbey stayed at the kennel, which was a good thing because I don't think we'd have had room for one more item in the car. We stopped in St Jo on the way down to get some dinner...and wouldn't you know it, there was a Chicfila, Chipotle, and Panda Express all at the same intersection of the mall. We of course chose Chicfila, but man, if we lived in St Jo...we'd be poor, fat and in heaven lol.

On the book news, I am still working on A Lion Among Men; this last weekend really set me behind, and I am hoping to sit down and finish it today on my afternoon off. I get the feeling I'll be distracted by one thing or another, but right now it seems like a good plan.

Have a tentative girls night plan tomorrow, hope it still happens.  We'll be doing dinner, then off to Paint Yourself Silly for some artistic expression, then end the night chatting at Ivanna Cone until they kick us out.  And maybe a stop into Indigo Books for some perusing of their awesome inventory.  Yay for girls' nights!

Here are some pics from the weekend in KC.  Please note, my sister and I exchange Hanukkah gifts, although we are now Jewish. We just enjoy celebrating other holidays, so there's that disclaimer to explain some of the pictures you see. Happy Thursday!




My shirt says, Lets put the Han back in Hanukkah, it's a pic of Han Solo. Love it!

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 ...
