Keeping up with the Kants

I find myself at the end of another month asking, where the heck did it go?  This year is going by in a flash, and before I know it, my baby Harper is going to be 2!  In just a short 10 days, eek!  She is really becoming her own little personality, I love watching her play and figure things out.  But more to come about her in a special birthday post... I spent a couple days this month getting my garden ready. Day 1 was spent tilling the plot, and expanding into the next section--which, much to Erich's delight-meant he got to cut down part of a tree.  He is always bugging me about the trees in the backyard, and what he wants to take down.  Usually I'm like, no, but I guess the garden might do better with some additional sun.  I planted 6 tomato plants (a little excessive, but four are cherry varieties, which Harper loves to pick, so I wanted to make sure I had enough for everyone), peppers, onions, cucumbers, spinach and carrots.  Last year I onl...

A couple weeks ago I was stuck with the ipod after Erich had loaded it up, so I got to hear some tunes I don't generally chose myself...like Jay Z.  Which leads me into the following email conversations that entertained me fully, and I'm pretty sure drove Erich up the wall.  Enjoy. And I'm sorry maybe you had to be there... Me: Very important question for you. Was Jay Z on Team Biggie or Team Tupac? Erich: Neither.  He abstained, but he was close with Biggie, he just never took part in their beef. Me: Lame. Erich: You are lame.  What are we doing for dinner tonight? Me: Read your emails nerd.  I said in the first one spaghetti. So is jay z friends with diddy?  What about eminem, where did he fit into all this, or was it before his prime? Erich: As usual, you are correct and spaghetti sounds great.  ( NOTE! HE SAID I AM CORRECT, AS USUAL!) They were neither friends nor enemies.  Jay-z was part of a separate group that stayed out of ...

I work half days on Thursdays, so I've been trying to get Harper in the afternoons and go do something fun together. We did the museum a couple weeks ago, and last week we hit up the zoo!  She had so much fun running around and seeing all the animals. I think her favorite was the wallaby; she jumped around the rest of the place after seeing him jumping around the area. Oh, and the squirrels...go figure.  We have a busy weekend planned; going to York for a visit, and into Hastings to see my dad and Grandma. Hoping to fit some pool time in there somewhere as well! Loving this weather :)   This is Harper a year ago at the zoo 2012!
