Harper's 2nd Birthday

I suppose I ought to tell you about this special day before the details get away from me. The week leading up to Harper's birthday was rough. Erich was out of town on a man-cation in Vegas, and Harper was teething pretty hard core and I ended up with a 24 hour bug...but we powered through and had a fun time with the family.

The theme was Sesame Street, in case you don't pick up on that from the pictures. Harper loved all the decorations and snacks we picked out. The party was at 3:00, in hopes that she would be well rested from a nap. Backfire! As family arrived for the party, she was still pretty sleepy from naptime, and stayed rather quiet for the majority of the day. But, I could see her little smile peek through from time to time, so I think she enjoyed herself.

Playing with the poms!

Each flower had a picture of Harper, and then some were "factoids" about her 2nd year

Can you believe we didn't get any pictures of her in front of this thing?

Yes, I made this cake...

And this one too. The awesome cupcakes were from PJ's! (Daycare enjoyed them on Friday)

Let the festivities begin!

With Aunt Heather & Cousin Hailey

This streamer came from the clearance bin at Dollar Tree. Dealio!

We did the cake at the very end after supper...ugh, we were so tired and full!

She found a way to eat a few bites anyway!

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 ...

GO BIG RED!

It feels like so much has happened since my last post. We survived going back to work and daycare, although I am fairly certain at least one of us has been sick with a cold, flu or both every day since then. Glad to see this warm weather, and hope it will sweep these germs away! We had Booker's baptism the weekend before I returned to work. It was nice to see all the family together, and kind of relax before having to return to the real world. Booker did pretty good during the ceremony; I was nervous and it was hot...bad combination in my tan dress lol. Erich was nice enough to point out how "hot" I looked. Made me think of our wedding ceremony, and how I felt the same way. We had a nice Easter weekend. We dyed egg with my family and had a mini egg hunt with Harper and her cousins. Then on Sunday the Easter Bunny came! He was so silly, he hid all the eggs we dyed in the living room. Harper was very concerned ...

Keeping up with the Kants
