our parsons peeps

“some people come into our lives and quickly go. some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.” - flavia weedn

***************************

earlier this year, a family appeared in our lives that have become very dear to us. the parsons waltzed in from radelaide like a storm in the middle of summer, appealed perfectly to our whacked out sense of humour and it's been a never ending party ever since.

we love them, our kids love each other - and i remember fondly our first dinner with all of us, that went on until almost 10pm, on a school night, cause we just talked and laughed and talked and laughed and talked and laughed some more. it was the best first family night ever.

but duty calls, as hamish is in the raaf and in less than 2 weeks, they'll be leaving us and taking off across the country for his next posting. time started to run out - and we realised we had never taken a photo with all of us together - or all of our kids together, seeing as we've added another one to the mix.

so today after church we got to work, once of us, a selfie, cause let's be honest, kids can't talk photos to save themselves...clearly i missed the memo, we were all meant to have sunnies on apparently. haha.

and some photos of these nutters. i am so glad that some of them are amazing (not this last one obviously!) so that once they are off on their adventures we can look at them and remember all the fun times we had. i must say though, i am so so grateful for the internet and modern technology. what a blessing it is to not have to miss people so badly, when facebook, media messaging and video calling are so readily available! 

oh you parsons peeps. we are missing you already!
