The Mick's

I've been slacking...

Please forgive me fellow readers of our blog, it's been over a week since my last post.....

We are all still doing great, loving life and making the most of our days. Eric went back to work last Tuesday after staying home for over a week with us and the new baby. It sure was nice having him home and it was definitely a big transition for Tyler and I when we leave the house. On Tuesday morning I had a dentist appointment and brought my whole crew with me. Tyler packed his new Spiderman book bag with his crayons (for some reason I pronounce them as "crowns" and I don't know why..), paper, cars, a snack, etc, etc.. lets just say he was prepared :) Little Caiden was an angel too... he just slept. As for me, I just laid there in the big leather chair while the hygienist cleaned my teeth (no cavities, YAY!). You know what I don't get? Why is it that they try and have a conversation with you while they stick a metal object in your mouth..... I just don't get it! LOL.

The rest of the week was great, I've started walking again and it feels wonderful. Tyler rides his bike while I pushed Caiden in the stroller. Caiden LOVES being outside. His eyes are wide open just staring out... I can't wait to start running again. I go to the Doctor next Wednesday for my 4 week postnatal checkup and I'm SO excited because that next day I'm going to put on my running shoes! Hooray! My goal is to train for a half-marathon. I'll start of slow until I get back into it because it's been quite a few months since I've ran. Hopefully I can get some new Nike+ shoes to design on my own. Any ideas?

Eric's doing great too! He's been working like crazy and still getting home early so we can all eat dinner as a family and ride bikes with Tyler around the neighborhood. I love him SO much, he's such an amazing husband, father, friend.
