It's been a fun and relaxing Friday for us. Lady Catherine is working from home today and although she really is working we are happy to have the time with her. She is feeding Caden all day, so no bottles and this gives me a bit more time to address other items around the house.
I had a large window of time, rare, to get some shopping done. So Caden and I drove over to REI and picked up our new stroller, a Bob Ironman stroller. After months of research through reading online forums, trade rags, Moms and Dads in the parks and viewing them online and in the stores, we felt that the Bob Ironman was the choice that best fits our lifestyle. We do more walking and running than shopping so the stoller needed to cater to that as well to the comfort of Caden and the comfort of us running with the stroller. Once at REI I loaded Caden into the stroller and headed out into the clothing isles and found the stroller was remarkable in getting around and through the clothing racks. We really didn't need a swivel wheel and I think I just proved it. We then proceeded down a long hall in which I ran down it and it was SMOOTH! Damn that is one smooth ride. Once we arrived home I showed Lady Catherine how to unfold it and she proceeded to run down our driveway with a sack of dog food to use as weight in place of Caden, who was in the house sleeping. She liked it and I knew she would :) b/c my research was well worth the weight.
I was hoping to get a run in today with Caden, today is a maintance run for me and I need to get another 6 miles in to reach 22 miles for the week before I do 11 on Sunday, but Caden is sound asleep and I don't want to wake him. We'll go for a short run afterwards. But I was able to use the down time to relace my new running shoes with a parallel lacing system in order to take some pressure off the top of my foot.
We spotted a new Hummingbird nest in our yard. The birds made a small compact nest in the Redwood tree and it appears to have been created along the side of a branch. I have the video camera on a tripod perched in the yard and hope to catch a live feeding. If I do, I'll post the video online.
Speaking of online video, I posted two video's of Caden and don't recall noting them on the blog. They are dated back his second day and to to 2 months of age. :) You can view them here.
Happy Friday!
