Back when this picture was taken Liz told us that the long-term plan was to end up back in Australia with Mick's family.... back then.... when you are sleep deprived, new Momma's and just starting to figure out what it means to be a "stay-at-home" Mom.... sentences like that seemed forever away....

as IF they were EVER this small....

| February 2010 |
flash forward 8 years that literally went by in the BLINK of an eye... and it was all of a sudden time to say good-byes...
These kids have been sitting together on steps having their picture taken for a LONG TIME... 
I'd like to think they have gotten better at it... ;) but maybe not? :)
We soaked up every last possible second...

| Sept 2010 |
and when the going got TOO tough for these C-gals we hit up the local ice cream parlor through our tears.... nothing like teaching my gals that ice cream is SOMETIMES the ONLY thing that helps...
We soaked up the last campfire party....
freezing cold as usual....
and the D's got to soak up their people....
Everything that Liz asked me if we wanted to do with them I just said "yes"... if I paused for a SECOND Husband would say... "how many more chances do we get.... let's do it!" 
It took three years.... (Defense is 3....)
But Spencer the dog-lover FINALLY came around and I think Defense is going to be sad to see his new friend go....
Minnie and I enjoyed a Saturday AM devotional with Liz's Mom at her church...
and the big gals got a little MORE time together...
this was Saturday.... Monday was coming... the last and final good-bye....until the next time...
The Ugly Cry... coming in Part II
