He's Home!!

Kent did get home on Friday, sorry about the long delay, but between family being in town and our house going through another round of the stomach flu (poor Ky still has diaper rash even though he has hardly gone in his diaper) this is the first chance I've gotten to update!

Kent did get home at 12:22 on Friday after his long long long trip home. He said that what happened was his travel arrangements had gotten messed up and so while everyone else he was supposed to be going home with got to leave South Africa on Tuesday, he had to stay an extra day and travel with an elder from a different misssion. When they got to London his flight of course didn't exist (it left the day before) so they put them on a different plane and they missed their connection in LA. In LA the lady at the United counter was LDS so even though he had to fly to Salt Lake first, that was the quickest way to get him home on Friday (the direct flight didn't leave until 5:00pm). The church made them reservations at a hotel, but when they tried to check in they were told they couldn't without a credit card, but luckily a different employee was LDS and promised that they wouldn't charge any movies to the room. The other "wonderful" thing that happened to him was that they put his luggage on the wrong plane in London, so he didn't get it until Monday. BUT, he is finally home and that is all that matters! So here is how his first weekend went:
Friday: went to lunch with everyone at the airport (which was a lot less people than the day before due to coming home in the middle of a work day); shopping for some clothes to wear, which Kent hated because he HATES shopping, but he couldn't wear a suite all day anymore! Dinner with all the Adams Fam
Saturday: Big breakfast, followed by big lunch with the Adams' and family pictures then big dinner (Kent said we are feeding him too much and he isn't used to eating so much food)
Sunday: reported to the high council in the morning then told all who traveled here goodbye!

It was fun to have the whole Adam's family together! We took family pics and told my grandparents about their 50th wedding anniversary surprise we had planned (whole fam in Clear Lake the end of July).

Right now Kent and Kort are in Rexburg for the week while my parents are in Nashville, TN.

Well, that's about all. Sorry for the LONG post, but it might be the last for another week or so - I am doing another long term sub job, but it shouldn't be too bad. Kelly will be out for 3 weeks, but the middle week is spring break and there are two half days during the last week and she is going to come in for AP Government during that last week!


Everyone waiting again - happy that we discovered the comfortable chairs this time!


The first pic of Kent! My mom was clapping (so embarassing)


Very happy parents!


Everyone at Lunch - Kent requested no rice or pasta!


Hanging out at the house afterwards

Ky and grandpa - don't they look just alike!

Kal and my cousin Cy - he is only 7 months old and only a couple pounds less than Ky

Kylan was exhausted after family pics - he slept on about 4 different people for about 3 hours! We just kept passing him around.
