It's all about Jack

 Jack's mission farewell was on Sunday, May 26. It was a great day with friends and family. Jack did a fabulous job on his talk and even used his mystery word with amazing ease! (a tradition where uncle Ken gives the missionary to be a strange, random word they have to incorporate into their talks with only a few minutes notice to prepare). Jack's word was sphygmomanometer. Pretty awesome!

 It seemed like so long to have that call--5 months to prepare, but then, the last few weeks just flew by and were very busy!  We are so excited for Jack's adventure!

 Grandma and silvi

 Grammy and Jack

Lots of yummy food, what more could he want!

Visiting with the gang. It was a great day.

 Saying goodbye to friends and family the day before going into the MTC

Last chance for a few family photos with us all together. Even Harper jumped in.

 Finally, June 5th really arrived. We took Jack to Tucanos for lunch before the big drop-off.

Man, I think we have the best kids in the world.

 Everyone loved it and we were all very stuffed.

The MTC (the new west campus). They let us jump out and take one final picture. The main MTC was crazy busy with a record number of missionaries going in that day (over 900 they said), but the new campus was not so busy and they didn't even rush us like we were expecting. It was really nice.

We are missing Jack lots but are so excited for him and for his opportunity to serve. He is doing great and just arrived to Oakland last Wednesday- June 19.
