Thanksgiving fun

Brian and Heather left our house a few hours ago, and all three of us at home are exhausted and already nostalgic about the awesome visit with them. We watched Dad carve their turkey via webcam, cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner, played around Mt. Lemmon (very cold up at 8,000 ft), saw some great desert critters at the Desert Museum, drank prickly pear margaritas, and played Rock Band on Xbox360. It was so much fun having them here, and great to finally celebrate Thanksgiving with Brian!

Go Cats!

We went to our first UofA basketball game with Tim, Ben, and Kara, and it was against the ACC's own Virginia. It was a great game, even if the Wildcats lost. I meant to post this earlier, but things have been busy between preparing for Thanksgiving at our house, work in my lab, and an unhealthy obsession with the dog posted below.

I saw her while volunteering at the shelter, and her cute little face was screaming for a new home with us. Don't worry...we haven't adopted her (yet), but the inner debate between head and heart has been troubling. I mean, we want Winston to be our best buddy....we don't need to become a zoo. She is adorable, and her personality is sweet and calm....she is still available at PACC if anyone is interested in giving her a good home.

Fun Week in the AZ Autumn

Hey everyone!
This was an awesome week. It started with a fun visit with Zach. We showed him our favorite Mexican restaurants in town and between the three of us, drained the Tucson supply of margaritas. It was wonderful to see a familiar face, and to show him our new home. And the week's fun continued with the annual CATwalk, a 5K walk on the UofA campus to benefit women's cancer research. The Hoffmans met us for a brunch at our house, and all four of us (along with Winston and Charlie) did the walk together. You can tell from the picture how excited Winston was for company.
