will spring ever end???

Ah...what a week...and still a few more crazy days to go, then WSU summer!!!!
Getting home from China was nuts and Dad & I were home way later than we thought and both of us were up and back at our respective jobs bright and early the next morning...and there was no rest for the weary the rest of the week.  I came home to probably the craziest 3 weeks at the vet school which equals lots of long, extra hours but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  There was also that pesky little final paper that I had yet to write for my class this semester.  Thankfully G'ma Carol came to stay again (we gave her a week off, sort of, inbetween) and so I had a chance to lock myself in a windowless room and write my paper, stay late at work to get all that I needed to done and magically find clean laundry, a vaccuumed house...it was a miracle!!
Now school is in its final week and the chaos is in full swing with grades and graduation looming...not my graduation, but my first DVM graduation - I'm in charge so the pressure is on.  Then a weekend break and then my summer grad class.  I REALLY excited about this one though - not only does it mean I will be on track to graduate next spring (despite the fact that WSU is cutting my program), but also because it is in one of my favorite fields --- Pop Culture!!! I'm even helping TA the course!  It's going to be fabulous!
Oh...so what about the rest of the family....right.....
Chuck went on his annual forced-march hike trip with Dustin this year...but they didn't make it past the packer bridge because Chuck came down with a terrible cold and stopped himself before it got to his lungs and he came down with pneumonia and wolf-bait.  They both had a really good time, but as soon as he came home he promptly shared with grace and kellan.
grace is as precocious as ever...the stuff that comes out of her mouth never cease to crack us up or frusterate us to no end.  I don't remember anyone ever warning us that "threes" were essentially bi-polar hi & low's. 
kellan is EVERYWHERE, all the time!! he has mastered crawling, pulling himself up on whatever is nearby and driving grace crazy in anyway possible.  Ahhh, the fun to come! he is also babbling a lot....so much so that Chuck is already convinced that his first word is "uh-oh" since he says it when we tell him no-no or catch him doing what he's not supposed to.  It is pretty funny!!
Now we are all excited for the sun to show itself here on the Palouse and to actually start summer!!!
