Quinn is finally using the pedals on this tricycle. Hooray!

The sun is rising later and later in the morning, which means it's darker and darker when I go out to run. Pretty soon it's going to be too dark for me. I'm so clumsy I'd probably trip over a twig and sprain an ankle in the dark.

Some nice flowers bloomed at the park near my work.

A nice thing about jogging early in the morning is running into all of the wildlife.

It's a foggy drive to work this morning.

Last night I finished up a new comforter for Quinn. It's larger than the Legend of Zelda one I made earlier, which he still uses quite a bit when he snuggles up on the couch. This will be nice to keep him toasty in bed when it starts to get cooler.

Quinn came with me this morning to run the track at the Y. He's asked a few times when I've come home in the morning and he's been up so I thought today it might be fun for him to go and explore.

My dad had quintuple bypass surgery earlier this week, so we drove to the east side of the state to visit with everyone.

Dayzee wasn't feeling the best, so there were lots of cuddles.
 We ate lunch out on the patio, enjoying the nice weather.
After lunch Chris and I headed downtown to The Henry Ford Hospital. They had a pretty cool sensor that opens the bathroom door with the wave of your hand.

My dad is still in the cardiac care area and you're not allowed to take photographs. He was doing better, and he has an adorable heart pillow he squeezes if he has to cough or sneeze. He isn't walking yet and coughing is quite painful still. We brought his phone so he could FaceTime with my mother and see Quinn (children under 12 aren't allowed in either).

All in all he was in good spirits, although exhausted. It sounds like today is the most lucid he's been since the surgery on Tuesday.

We spent a little more time back at my parent's house and then we headed home. Quinn refused to let go of his water bottle and every time I tried to take it he woke up. So for part of the ride he slept like this.

I was able to get out and lunch and do a run at the YMCA, so that was nice.

It's been a pretty busy week at work so I've been trying to get out in the morning to run in case I don't have enough time at lunch. With the sun rising later and later in the morning it makes when I want to go out darker and darker. So I've been waiting a little, but that cuts it close in the morning when I get back home.

I brought these Moon Pies in for the eclipse and we're all just slowly working through the box. It's been sitting, taunting me all day.

It's a silly morning with this little guy.
