Sounds like it was a rather uneventful reentry.

Images from the Space.com. Monday, April 2, 2018: NASA astronaut Drew Feustel dangles from the International Space Station some 250 miles (400 kilometers) above the Earth during a spacewalk on Thursday (March 29). Feustel and his crewmate NASA astronaut Ricky Arnold spent 6 hours and 10 minutes doing maintenance outside of the orbiting lab in what was the 100th spacewalk performed by crewmembers living aboard the space station. more images here www.space.com/34-image-day.html

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 with a Dragon Cargo capsule on top to the ISS Monday. They expect to rendezvous with the ISS Wednesday. It was the fourteenth launch of a Dragon, and the first with a recycled Dragon Cargo and a recycled Falcon 9.

This morning, the ISS crew was making an EVA to fix one of the thermal control system pumps. They didn't say which one.

The ISS crew is doing an EVA to install some cameras that will give a better view of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing Starliner when they dock later this year. When I retired, the software developers were putting in code to support multiple Visiting Vehicles.
