Keeping up with the Kants

I really wish I could say I've been busy with this or that and unable to post, but really, I've just been lazy.  We've had some nice, lazy weekends of movies and laying around and I gotta say, I enjoyed every minute.  We've also been trying to finish the deck (hey, we need 12 more feet of stairs and railings, and we're done!), and now Husker season is upon us, so there's that to keep us busy.  Harper is obsessed with birthdays, "Happy Day" as she refers to them.  First for my niece's birthday, she was convinced it was truly her birthday.
