Having Scott home is so great. I missed him so much and it's a very peaceful feeling having him here in person. This summer has been great because I have had ALL of my children with me multiple times. It's a lot of work keeping everyone fed and entertained but it's also very comforting to have them all in the house with me. It certainly makes me appreciate all that my parents do when we all go home to Durango.
I have loved listening to Scott's stories and the feelings he has about his mission. He loved teaching and it has been rewarding to watch him do some teaching. He's applied for a job at the MTC and I hope he get it.
I forgot how much the two of us talked. I remember when he was in high school I tried to read every book he was reading just so we could talk about it. I have no idea how many other mothers talk with their sons like this, but we have always bantered about books, political ideas, music. I love discussions and so I love when he is interested in something and shares it with me.
We've also enjoyed going to the temple, playing tennis and relaxing at the beach. It will difficult to say goodbye to all 4 (including Ben) of my older children in just a month. Our home will be so quiet.
