As many of you know we have been "home" on furlough (a break from missions to go home, refresh, re-raise our budget for this next term) since March of 2007. I totally lost track of my blog and then the passwords were changed and I honestly do not get a chance that often to sit in front of the computer.
This last year home has been full of ups and down. Coming back (reverse culture-shock) was a lot harder than I had ever anticipated it to be. I think I had idealized it so much in my head of how I thought things were going to be that, let's just say it was a big hill to climb!
It has been great being home and around family and friends and Starbucks. Kylea jumped into Kindergarten finished that and hopped right into first grade and has done great, I love reading all of the stories she writes at school, esp. the ones about our family!!! She is quite the reader too, always up for a challenge. Kaden is still our life of the party/funny man. I think after furlough I will write a book entitled "saying from the toilet by Kaden", so funny! He is in pre-school at our church and is inseparable with his best bud, Dakota! Carsten, who was formerly knows as "Chub-chub", which we changed at his first birthday in December to "Caboose" which later shortened to "Boose", all because we did not want the chub thing to stay with him too long, he might need counseling later. He is my squishy man and has such a sweet personality!!
We are looking forward to heading back to Swaziland here by the end of (state side) summer, missing friends, our stuff, and the people, and the weather and pace of life.
