Asher Malachi Pratt

Hey guys sorry for the serious lack of posts in the past few months but we are still working on getting internet hooked up at our house.  however we are at the hospital for the moment and so i figure i better update you as to our currant  situation.  first i would like to let you all know that our beautiful baby boy came to see the world on Saturday the 20th  at 11.15 am.  The labor yet again reminds me that my wife is one tough cookie as it went so fast she almost had him before the nurses could get an epidural ordered. That said. Asher Malachi Pratt, 8lbs 3.6oz, 21 inches long. He is a little brick. He can already lift his head up =).

Other than that  things are going well. i have spent the summer remodeling one of my mothers houses in return for staying there rent free. we are almost finished. just a few more things on the inside and we will be ready to jump on the exterior in the spring.  also i am working for a small lawn and landscape company, and keeping myself real busy. Kara has had her hands full this summer as well. she has been staying at home with shiloh, keeping a garden, attempting to learn to can and preserve, all the while she has been brewing up the little guy. This hasnt been the easiest task as she spent a good portion of the summer on bed rest and a few more weeks on limited activity. so needless to say she is glad that Asher is hear for more than just the fact that he is adorable.

Please be in prayer for us in the coming months as we start to look forward and plan for our next step. we are still planning on  attending the New Tribes Mission's MTC (Missionary Training Center)  August of 2013. However some potential ministry opportunities have been brought to our attention as of late that would allow us more time to grow  as a family as well as for me to gain some more much needed experience, before heading over seas. pray that the LORD would direct our path clearly so that we wont let good distract us from the best.

much love from the Pratts

Malachi, Karalise, Shiloh, and Baby Asher.
