Joe's Hat

I finally finished Joe's hat, so here it is - as promised!

Merry Christmas...a little late

Took me a while to get these uploaded, but here are a few pictures from our Christmas.

Silly Sarah...

Sunday was marathon day - only six months of training and preparation (and sacrificed Sunday walks to Starbucks). We had a really nice weekend, stayed along the beach the night before the race and enjoyed some lovely shopping in Santa Barbara - including a quick stop at Coach to use my 25% off coupon (great success!). I ran a personal best, hit my goal, and killed my half-marathon best time in the process.

So, where does the silliness come in? I strategically set Joe off with the camera and he did a great job getting some photos of me during and after the race. Unfortunately, those pictures are currently stuck on my camera, as I forgot to put the flash drive back in the camera before the race and the cable for the camera has mysteriously disappeared. As such, please enjoy a few pictures from the official photographers of the race at this site: http://www.brightroom.com/view_user_event.asp?EVENTID=55842&PWD=&BIB=938

I apologize for the inability to not show you the less attractive pictures, but let me just say - its ok to have unflattering pictures after 26.4 miles. :)

Penny and her new bone

Penny got a brand new bone last week, and we couldn't help but snap a few pics of her doing her favorite things, jumbo bone style - playing with Joe and sleeping.

Wine Tasting

We finally got out to wine tasting and picking up our wine shipments a few weekends ago. We only had four months of wine to pick up! Guess we should try to drive out there more often...but, to make up for it, here is a cute picture of Joe, Penny and I outside the winery with some of the yummy future-wine grapes in the background.
