Going to miss you

Like I mentioned earlier, we mainly came down to say goodbye to Steve's parents. What an exciting adventure for them and we are going to miss them dearly. We actually get to talk with them every week on their P-day, so we are able to keep up with their experiences as they are getting adjusted to their new life in Vladivostok, Russia.

We tried to take one last grandchildren picture, which as you can see didn't turn out. Trying to get all 11 kids to hold still and look at the camera was a complete joke. And now this group picture is already outdated, another grandson was born July 20! The Pratt family keeps growing quite rapidly. It's so weird and hard to look at all these grandchildren and think the next time they see their grandparents they are going to be 2 or 3 years older from now. Thank goodness for computers and skype!


We are all standing in front of Elder L. Tom Perry's office, upper left window. We were all privileged to attend while President & Sister Pratt were being set apart. What a remarkable and memorable experience to not only shake Elder Perry's hand but to visit with him briefly. You could feel the spirit so strongly as he spoke to all of us. He has a great sense of humor and love for missionary work. We know Mom & Dad will be blessed as they serve the Lord and the people in Russia.

Thanks for updating the blog. I love the pictures...will you email me the one of us all outside of Elder Perry's office? I didn't have my camera. All the pictures are great. I like the header too. Is that some thing that you created with photoshop? soooo Cute!
