We came, we slept, we left, we forgot to take pictures

Yep. That's about it. Paul and I arrived in DC at 11:00 pm Tuesday night. Had Noah not practiced his piano, we may never have seen the kids at all, but luckily he did. This woke us up in time to learn that Eli had lost a tooth and that the DC Sampsons are eagerly awaiting a trip to Disneyworld. We attended the luncheon around 12:00 noon and were surprised to see Chief Justice Roberts there. The solicitor general announced Paul and his award, and I couldn't have been prouder. Then it was straight to the airport for us, no time for much else. They promised me that we would get a picture of Paul getting his award, so when it comes I'll post it. Quick trip but a much needed break from school. Now we hit the home stretch until finals and our next big move.
