"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Jake's Big Day!

Jacob was nervous but also excited to enter the MTC. He'll be a great missionary and will definitely bless the lives of so many!

You get questionable quality photos when you ask strangers to take the picture. :)
The future missionary. Hey, Derek could enter the MTC exactly 14 years from this day. Derek and Jacob's birthdays are one day apart.
I felt bad for all the poor moms saying goodbye to their sons. I almost cried several times thinking about the day that I'll send my boys off. If I thought Kindergarten was bad, I can't imagine what saying goodbye for the mission will be like.

I almost lost Dave through this process of taking Jacob to the MTC. Dave wanted to take Jake's tag and run. I don't know how I would have felt about that. :) He would serve again in a heartbeat.
Good luck Jacob! We'll miss you.

What a great day! The missionary army force just got better today! We love that kid and we know he'll do great things in Peru!
