Just an ordinary day...or week...

I've been in a blogging slump (yes, I consider a week without blogging a slump). I keep thinking that maybe one of these days I'll have something really interesting to say, but for now it's just another everyday life post. I love my life...even it is ordinary.

Mike ran ANOTHER trail marathon last Sunday (along with his brother, Brad). If you're keeping track, that's three marathons (one road, two trail) in five weeks. Is the human body supposed to do that?? I said he was crazy before and I'd like to reiterate that now. It was a VERY hilly race and really difficult. He got sick with one mile to go...but he stuck it out. He's taking a nice long break now...thank goodness! His basketball coaching responsibilities have started up, so running will take a bit of a backseat for awhile (his body deserves it!). He's already talking about a 50K race (31miles) for next summer though...whoa!

This is the kind of extracurricular activity I spend many of my days participating in...wrestling small children. It might look easy, but it's almost as hard as running a marathon...kind of. :)

Apparently I didn't take a picture of Ben this past week...sorry buddy! So, here's Nattie in all her glory. She is a full-blown crawler now and is pulling up to/walking around everything. It's almost like overnight she figured the whole mobility thing out. I really wish she would take a break from teething for awhile though. She's chewing our whole house...shoes, furniture, magazines...it's like having a puppy. :)

Finally, a little video clip of Nattie from this weekend. I've only posted one video of her ever, so I thought it was time for another. She's such a happy-go-lucky little thing. :)
