This was first trip to DC, first Cherry Blossoms, first picnic and first time eating fruit. Yup, a full day of firsts for her. As you can see, we pretty much pack the entire kitchen and bedroom when we take her somewhere. And by “we”, I mean Monica.

I feel proud right now! Below is a live streaming video of the National Christmas Tree at the US Capitol. I’m glad that they haven’t stopped calling it what it is, a Christmas Tree, not a Holiday Tree. Sweet!
Poor Punxsutawney Phil is scared to death!
It’s bad enough that he probably get’s picked on by his fellow peers because of his screwed up name, Punxsutawney Phil, but he also has to deal with the annoying human beings. I’d be scared to come out too if there were 1300 people outside of my house and then a fat bastard grabbed me like that! Look at the poor Groundhog’s face! Anyways, spring is coming early! Yay for Mr. Punxsutawney Phil!
It’s real people! (Not that we needed scientific proof, but for all the haters and skeptics…)
(CNN) — Love’s first blush fading? Lost that loving feeling? Love is not all around? Sick of cliches? Take heart, scientists have discovered that people can have a love that lasts a lifetime.
Scientists have used brain scans to study how long love lasts between couples. Using brain scans, researchers at Stony Brook University in New York have discovered a small number of couples respond with as much passion after 20 years together as most people only do during the early throes of romance, Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper reported.
The researchers scanned the brains of couples together for 20 years and compared them with results from new lovers, the Sunday Times said.
About 10 percent of the mature couples had the same chemical reactions when shown photographs of their loved ones as those just starting out.
Previous research has suggested that the first stages of romantic love fade within 15 months and after 10 years it has gone completely, the newspaper said.
“The findings go against the traditional view of romance — that it drops off sharply in the first decade — but we are sure it’s real,” said Arthur Aron, a psychologist at Stony Brook, told the Sunday Times.
