Parish Party!

July 13, 2009

Before Max and Jenny moved, all three Parish clan's met in Morro Bay for a weekend stay at a lovely beach house. Dad's business partner, Chris McClain, generously offered it for our use and it provided a perfect atmosphere for family time. Within walking distance of the beach, we soaked in the sun, surf, and sand, hashed out everything possible to hash -visiting wise-, played music, and attempted some family photos. (Thanks to a tripod!) Another special treat was an afternoon spent at the Welch's home where we celebrated Simon's 18 birthday. Thanks for your hospitality and thoughtfulness Welchs!

Happy Birthday Simon!

Close communication

Emerson Faith has deep brown eyes with a wide, serious, expresssion. There is a sweet femininity about her personality already beginning to show. We love you Emerson!

Graham is sampling some carrots or sweet potatoes here, something orange anyway. :-) Yum, yum little man. We love and miss you!!


Jaelynn is growing up so fast, and adores playing teatime and dress-up with Jayni and Lilly. Likewise, they are always eager to spend time with her! It's fun to see the girl troop heartily enjoying themselves in play.





Waiting for Dan and Kendra to get here!


We couldn't make the trip without a flat tire of course. Thankfully, our men had it fixed in a jiffy. :-)

Oh Sally! Those were gorgeous!!! We're going to have to talk camera soon. ;) I'll be doing a photo shoot with a family at the beach, and you just gave me some brilliant ideas. :-) The few of Daniel, Kendra and the girls are especially sweet.
Can't wait to see you soon!

How is it that beautiful photos can almost make you ache inside?! Oh my.

Sandy, you are the picture of loveliness. And what a family God has graciously given to you and Scott. Such blessings.
