It's hard to believe that R.C. is 3 days away from completing his first year of grad school. A difficult year for all of us, but also some very enjoyable moments.

Russell has completed 180 days of kindergarten, but we are going a bit above and beyond and still doing daily work.

We are going on vacation in just a few days and will see most of you at some point. The boys are having a hard time controlling their excitement for this trip. Each and every time it is brought up, they scream with delight and talk about all the great things/people they get to do/see again in the good 'ol Midwest.

So, once again I will probably not be blogging for awhile. Too much packing to do and too much family time to soak in during the next few weeks to take time out to blog. But we'll see...
