Here comes 2010...

2009 is wrapping up and it has been one interesting year. In January Vince turned 26 and less than a month later Sarah turned 25. I think it finally hit us that we are those old married boring people. Oh well, *WE* think we're fun. the year went by FAST! Vince has a new job, Sarah moved up in her job (then didn't move up again like she she applied for at the end of the year but she's not bitter... grrrr). We added to our vehicle collection twice this year with Sarah's scooter and Vince's Toyota Corolla which matches nicely with Sarah's Toyota Corolla. We're healthy, happy, and still the funniest couple you'll ever meet!

...oh, you wanted to know about the dogs? Frank has gained enough weight to now be on the small end of the healthy pug range. He enjoys sitting on Sarah's lap, curling up on her feet, and following her around. We call him "Velcro-pug!". Penny isn't a puppy anymore but trying telling her that! She has lots of energy and is always ready to pounce on anything that happens to move. She enjoys wrestling with Frank, then curling up with him for naps, and "herding" everyone around by pulling on their pant legs. And yes, she knows how cute she is and has Vince wrapped around her paw completely. Olie learned a few new tricks recently, he first learned how to jump over the dog gate that blocks the basement theater room. We are not amused by this, and he is learning this trick is "naughty". His second trick is a more positive one, he can balance a dog snack on his nose and wait for instructions to shake it off and eat it. This took some tries because Penny thought "if he wont eat it, I will" and often tried to snatch a free treat. Olie still insists that the loveseat is HIS loveseat, and can often be found sleeping in it after he has run laps in the back yard area. Both Olie and Frank enjoy playing "chase" with the Pitbull on the other side of the fence. They will run back and forth the length of the fence all together, and now Frank sometimes does it even when Mr. Pitbull isn't there.

We wish everyone a happy and safe new years! We're hoping to make 2010 the best year yet! But we can't tell you our resolutions, or you'll hold us to them ;-)
