In case you missed it....
The Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup!!!!!!!!!!
And to borrow a phrase used in every interview I saw, it's an unbelievable feeling and I'm speechless!

Hiatus at an End
Okay, at Lisa's prodding, I have resumed my blogging career. For those of my friends who still bother to check if I've updated, many apologies. Long story short, my iBook decided to crash and I have been computer-less for the last two months. I just got a new iBook courtesy of my father, who also did an amazing rescue job on all my files. Moral of the story, back up files!!!

New Arrivals at the Sampson House
Meet Charlie and Susie, the newest additions to the Sampson Family! We just adopted two large and adorable chocolate labs. They belonged to a friend of a friend of a friend of an old man who couldn't take care of them. Since they were going to be put down unless a home could be found, we decided to take them. Suzie is the one in the pink collar, Charlie in the blue. They are brother and sister and love to play fetch. They are also trained hunting dogs, whatever that means. But I guess if I ever decide to shoot a rabbit or pheasant or something, they will retrieve it for me. They also love to play in the pool, relaxing on the top step to cool off or jumping in after a ball. Apparently they lifeguard too. When my sister got in the pool to swim, Susie tried to save her by tugging on her arm.

Smithsonian: D.C. Chronicles Part 8
On Wednesday we visited the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the National Gallery of Art. (Unfortunately the Museum of American History is closed for a couple years). Even if you had a week to explore and appreciate all of the museums along the Mall, it still would not be enough. The highlight of the Natural History Museum for me was the Hope Diamond. I could totally take that baby home!
The National Gallery of Art (technically not a Smithsonian Museum) is amazing. Lisa and I ran through that thing in about an hour and a half. That has to be some sort of record. We basically sprinted past beautiful Vermeers, Rembrandts, Monets, Reubens, Cezannes, and a stunning Da Vinci. It was kind of a painful experience!
