Update on Penny March 18th, 2010 by Kim
Well, That sweet little girl Nick posted a pic of has gone home to her owner…tear/yay?. I do feel the need to correct the part in Nick’s post where he said something along the lines of, “let us know if you’d like to take her in.” Excuse me. No. Actually, please don’t let us know because I wouldn’t have let her go anywhere! Gosh, I would fail as a dog foster parent. We’d have 50 dogs.
There is a happy ending though, as hard as it was for us to let her go. The owner had recently adopted this deaf pup and when she lost her, brought her photo to animal services who was able to reunite them after we sent them this found photo. She met us at the apartment and we gave her back. Poor girl had been dodging cars and roughing it for around a week and a half. It was so sweet because Nick would carry her down the stairs to when she needed to try to go out (she never actually successfully went potty out there-too scared). Her name is “Sidney” but I think she prefers to be called Penny.
…We know one guy who’s happy about this happy ending–Scoober!

Look what we found March 15th, 2010 by Nick
Yesterday we found this pup curled up outside our door (third floor of an apartment complex). Isn't she cute? She had some cuts on her legs and feet and was filthy. We brought her in and gave her a good bath (she likes baths better than Scoobs) and let her sleep on our couch last night. We don't know where she came from but according to her collar she has a microchip in her which will hopefully tell us something. She loves being around Scoober even though he is constantly barking at her. She is pretty skittish so we think it is possible she has been abused in the past. We are making phone calls today to see if we can locate her owner so we'll keep you posted. If you think you may be interested in taking her in let us know. She is super sweet.

Super Scoober January 31st, 2010 by Nick
Today we woke up to a typical Sunday morning. We got out of bed, washed up, got dressed and headed to church. After church we stopped by the grocery store to pick up some goods and then headed home. Little did we know we were about to bust Scoober in the middle of his “pretend time”.
Apparently Scoober likes to pretend he is Superman when we’re gone.

An Espi Christmas December 18th, 2009 by Kim
Well, we’re off to Austin for the Espinosa Christmas event of the season. It should be fun! I can’t believe it’s so close to Christmas already! I’m sure I have said this way too much, but time is flying by lately!! I guess the busyness of this December has really moved things along.
It was so sunny today after all our rain/mist! I enjoyed a walk to Barnes & Noble at lunch but didn’t expect that I would get warm & need my sunglasses. It was fun seeing everyone sitting outside eating and such. I saw today that the CDC says “people are happier in sunnier places”…the big apple was rated last. Texas ranks 15. I initially wondered if part of that has to do with ’southern charm’/ people in sunny/southern places will rate their happiness higher just because they won’t say otherwise…I actually don’t really think so after reading the article more closely. And gosh, I just sound so cynical saying that!! ha

Had a nice fall December 16th, 2009 by Nick
I think that’s how the joke goes. “See ya next fall!” Or something. I think I’m missing a part.
Anywayyy, I took quite a spill outside the theater this evening. It felt like slow motion & I guess I put my hands down, but in my mind it felt like I was just falling flat on my face. Thankfully I was with the sweetest Chinese reporters who babied me way too much & kept asking if I needed to go to the hospital (absolutely not that bad- no matter how much I whine), which is actually just the right amount of babying for me. 
Most of the visible issue is the nastiness of my ring finger/nail, which I held with a paper towel for a while before someone found a bandaid. Tonight I reverted back to age 7 when Nick poured hydrogen peroxide on my cuts. (only after I searched the apt. to no avail for the blue non-stingy cut cleaning stuff I know I bought once-nick wouldn’t allow that stuff anyway. No pain no gain I guess.)
Funny thing is, it’s my knees that are killing. They feel tender and smashed. I don’t know how to describe it. Even aside from the lumps from this fall, I’m remembering that my knees are pretty funny looking on a good day. Kind of lumpy, and this spill isn’t helping.
Just thought I’d share. I think I was due for a good spill. It had been a while for me. Also, Nick has a love for China, and today after the interview I wanted to understand Chinese & go to China. Add it to the list!
