Pooley's Pumpkin Patch

Stop the presses! Two posts in a week?! I know, I know. I figure I might as well get these pics out here before it's December and no longer relevent. We visited this nice little patch in Bennington, NE yesterday. A longer drive than Roca, but I think for Harper it was the perfect place. They had a few animals--Harper had a death grip on an unsuspecting chick, some bunnies, pigs, goats, sheep and ponies and a corn silo, which she loved. Daddy vetoed the pony rides, and she was not happy. Luckily we offered her snacks instead and she got over it fairly quickly. Enjoy the pics!

Checking out the chicks

Erich explaining why we don't squeeze their necks

Harper trying to pick a pet

Gentle touches was our phrase of the day

Corn Maze!

She led us through about halfway then wanted to be carried

Bunnies!

She was giving it a "hug"

Asking strangers to pick up bunnies for her

Weird pig thing

Real piggies!

Feeding the sheep

She did smile, I swear.

Fail

Our little pumpkin

She HATED this swing

Pumpkin patches are bor-ring.

Then she was stuck there

Our stylin pink tiger.

Awwww

Driving the safe looking tractor

I got this Dad.

Erich had to try it out

Throwing corn around

Whoa!

Right before I got corn in my face. Her way of saying, Stop taking my picture Mom!

Erich's punishment for trying to throw corn down my shirt, and pelting me in the face in the process.

Action shot, hey look at me I'm standing on this ledge!

Hey, I'm over the ledge, look at me!

Hey, hey guys? Hey? I fell, can someone help me up?

Feeding chickens

This little boy was sharing his corn

Aaaaaaaaaaand, end scene.

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 ...

I never said I was a great correspondant....

..but almost four months between posts is ridiculous! I have no good excuse other than sheer laziness...that and I hate the way blogger posts photos, and it usually irritates me enough to delete my post anyway. So I will try to be better! I'll give some updates of what's kept me so busy, but I have no idea when they happen--I can't even remember what I did last week... Furniture shopping...Erich and I were under some strange impression that we had this wonderful discount at NFM for furniture through Home Real Estate, so we scoured that store at least four times looking for bookshelves,living room sets, entertainment centers, tvs, deep freezes, kitchen tables, hutches...you name it, we looked at it. And we could not find anything we liked, and by the end of the visit everything had merged into one big lump of data; my photos and notes taken throughout the trip looked like another language. And almost every trip ended in us bickering and leaving upset that we couldn't ag...

Well, our first week of daycare and work went great! Harper really seems to enjoy herself there, she eats and sleeps and plays well. And I've been busy at work so it keeps me from dwelling on her all day. We had her two month check up on Monday; she weighs 12 lbs 2.5 oz, and is 23 inches long, both in the 75th percentile. Her head size, which escapes me, was in the 50th percentile. She has great neck control, and everything else looks good. She also took all 5 shots like a champ! She cried some, but I think part of that was hungry cries...we agreed that we've heard her cry worse when her dinner was late! We spent this past weekend in York for Great Grandpa Kant's 91st birthday. We had fun swimming at the pool; all the boys end up trying to outdo themselves on the diving board, and then the little girls try to mimick their older cousins, uncles and fathers. Harper hung out with Great Grandma in the shade, but I think she wanted in t...

Keeping up with the Kants
