October

This post is going to be a big photo purge and I don't have a lot to tell.  We've been busy and then sick, and then both! Harper is getting over a ruptured ear drum and ear infection, and I had the flu last week.  Let's hope Erich stays healthy for all our sakes.   Hopefully this weekendeveryone is more cooperative so we can head to the pumpkin patch in Roca.  Luckily we already picked our pumpkins in York last weekend.  Can't really beat free pumpkins and gourds, right?! Come on nice weather and healthy family!


Our haul...well, most of them came home with us.
Hard to believe that October is nearly half gone! It's been a busy month, and no plans to stop. Next week my sister and the kiddos are in town, boo at the zoo starts (I'll admit, I'm wearing my groovy hippie costume as I type this, I'm pretty excited about it) and then Halloween.  Harper says she wants to be a monkey, and it just so happens we have a monkey costume.  Problem is that she refuses to try it on, and when we're in the store she is frozen in front of the Ironman and Spiderman costumes.  So, we'll see what she ends up as. 

We did welcome our new niece, Anna Leigh,  into the world on September 24.  After a week long stay at the hospital, everyone was ready for them to be home and we are so excited she is healthy!


 
Not a lot more to report.  Just counting down the days to December when Erich and I head to DC for a good friend's wedding, as some sightseeing...let's hope the weather isn't completely awful!  And now, enjoy some pictures.
 





This pictures freaks me out big time.

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

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

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which
