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!

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...

Disneyworld!

 We went to Disneyworld at the beginning of the year and had so much fun!  One of the best decisions we ever made, especially with Harper.  She was a great age to really soak everything in and be in awe of the parks.  Except Harry Potter World, which we decided was really more of an Erich/Susie/Couples trip.  Any takers?  I could try and detail out the trip, but I think the pictures do a much better job.
