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!

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 ...

Keeping up with the Kants
