The kids are all doing very well, don't get me wrong, we have our moments but it has been so sweet the way the kids have become so attached to Selina.
With Selina and Kman, their big bond is "balls". Kman loves to throw, catch, kick, roll balls (often in the house without the accuracy of a pro). Selina loves balls too and so they can often be seen playing ball when it is just the two of them home.
We do many things together as a family but it is also important to us to separate the kids so that they each get some time alone with one of us or with just one of their sibs. Cater was especially needy of extra attention when I got home as she really had a hard time with me being gone for a month so to do this has really helped make the transition easier. Sometimes it was as simple as running errand or other times it was more exciting things like baseball games!
A few weeks ago, I took Kman and Selina to a Dbacks game. It was a really good time. Kman was so concerned about Selina and if she was happy, eating enough, enjoying the game, etc. We had nice seats and so in the 500 pictures of the players that he took, he caught this one of Selina...

After the game, the kids were allowed to run the bases. You had to be at least three years old so Kman did it alone the first time. I noticed some kids smaller than Selina going so I asked Kman if he wanted to take his sister around. He was so excited! We went back over and off they went!!!

I got teary eyed at the end as I snapped this last picture of Selina and her new brother at a baseball game on the field. She has come so far the last few months and is doing so well, I can't wait to see what her future holds!!

Jennine - you have a beautiful family. I can't believe you tackled redecorating in the midst of your adoption chaos! You are definitely an overachiever. Thank you for your encouraging words...you clearly understand what a help cheerleaders can be!
Those are treasured pictures of the two of them! I love them!

What great memories! And I am inspired to carve out our own special sibling groupings once the dust settles. Love those pics Jennine!
