C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS

We decided to hit the Verizon Center one more time this year, well we didn't know if they would still be playing when Rob returned in May. So Wednesday, April 6 we attended the first playoff game of the Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers.

We didn't have the best seats in the house but who cares, you are a the game at least!!

(last time we had to look up to see the TV screen!)

Lovin' the fact we can be here together!

Yes that is the wall behind us. Just above there were the TV announcers!

The going into overtime look!

A little weird & nervous!

CAPS WIN!!

With just less than 2 minutes left in overtime!!

The look of relief!

The exit.

Everyone was cheering C-A-P-S Caps Caps Caps even going down!

It was SO LOUD!!

For all the ladies who read this: There is one picture I didn't take that I kind of wish I would have....The line to the men's bathroom. I had never had the chance to walk right into the women's bathroom take my time and not feel like I was holding anyone up until this night. Not so with the men....WOW it was funny! Now, I guess I shouldn't be surprise, in our row of 25 people there were 2 females!

Another funny fact is that I had to teach the next day, because of the overtime we didn't get home until 1 am. Good thing Rob could stay awake the whole time. I slept on the subway & in the truck both way, I know most of you are not surprised!!

Tea Time!

On Sunday I had the special treat of meeting some dear girls for an English High Tea at the Willard Hotel in Downtown Washington DC. The Willard is located on the corner of 14 Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.


Johanna, second lady from the right side, talked about some of the history of this Hotel. She had mention that this Hotel was were Martin Luther King was staying when he finished the "I have a dream" speech. Johanna also talked about how this is the Hotel where the term "Lobbyist" came from. Because it is only one block form the White House dignitaries would stay here, citizens that wanted to speak with one of them or other political figures would wait in the lobby for just that chance.

All in all it was a wonderful time with some beautiful friends.
ps. the tea was delectable as well!

Spring has come!

Spring means a lot of things to me and Rob, probably the greatest part of Spring is seeing new life. We can't help but think as everything is coming to life again, ourselves included, of the new life Christ has given us. "I am the resurrection and the life", he told that women in the book of John. Simply beautiful.
One of the many ways we LOVE to enjoy the outdoors is in the kayak. So on the first day off I had when Rob was in the beginning of April we loaded up and set out. It was beautiful.....take a look for yourself!

Here's me and my life kayak partner!

A look down the river, we launched in Brunswick, MD on the Potomac.

My Love, the one that keeps us going straight!!

Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle- we would see a total of 4.

(1 mature & 3 immature)

I love turning around and seeing this. Rob has an ear and eye for seeing birds far away (well the binoculars help) and identifying them. He really gives most of credit to Aunt Barbara for making him so interested. On this trip down the river he commented many times how he wished she could be there with us, "she would know what that was!" he would say. I think here he was looking for a King Fisher he kept hearing. We did end up seeing him, he is really small so it's hard to get a good picture.

An ad for my Keen sandals!

See the turtle? We saw LOTS of turtles sunning themselves, just like us!

A pair of Wood Ducks

A muskrat

Just lovin' this.

It was a beautiful day and we of course had a wonderful enjoying each other and God's beautiful creation!

These are the Tulip trees that line the driveway to our place- BEAUTIFUL!
