We arrived back to Iowa on Monday June 23 and hit the ground running! There was a lot to do and get ready for. We had service calls, rental furniture to arrive, medical appointments, and don't forget Costco and Target!!! It was a bit overwhelming to see our home after 2 years and 8 months. Mark had been to Iowa several times while we were in Chile and then of course he arrived back 2 1/2 months prior to our return. But I and the boys hadn't been back since the day we left. There were new things to see and things that looked exactly the same. And it felt different because even though it was all the same, we are all very different from when we left. It has made getting settled a slow process, but a good process.
We kicked it into high gear and sent Mason off to Youth Conference (a three day activity for the 14-18 year old youth at our church). Then he had a day home and we sent Mason and Dallin off to Scout Camp. It was hard on them, but also the best thing we could have done. Those boys have thrived and are really enjoying being back. We were able to visit them for parent night while they were there.
