Pugs on a walk

Two people + 5 pugs on a walk... wow. Thankfully we live just around the corner from a middle school with a big field behind it. The field is surrounded by the nature preserve, so it's the perfect area to let everyone off their leashes to play frisbee. These pictures were taken yesterday when the temperature was over 80, so we had to bring along the water bottle. Yes, pugs overheat easily.

Hotel for Pugs

This week, we are taking care of 5 pugs! From right to left, we've got our own babies, Dora and Ruby, plus Brittany's puppy Sheldon and my parents' girls, Bailey and Isabelle (who is actually R&D's big sister). 

Christmas 2008

We had a fun-filled 4 days in Aspen for Christmas!! Unfortunately, these were the only two pictures I took the entire time. We stayed at a great resort situated right at the base of the Aspen Highlands mountain, so we could just walk right over to the lift. I was a little rusty on my ski skills, but Phil did great! 

White Rock Half Marathon

Despite seriously slacking in our training, my sister and I ran the White Rock Half Marathon this Sunday. We had to mix in some walking, but finished respectably in less than 3 hours! The start of the race was so much fun with a jet flyover and confetti everywhere. The weather was perfect, in the upper 60s. When we reached the Katy Trail around mile 10, my hip seriously began to hurt and so I pretty much hobbled through the last 3 miles with a lot of encouragement from Brittany. I know I sometimes hate running but I'm thinking about doing the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville in April....

That hurt!!!
