Mmm Pizza!


Chalene and I both have a few weeks off with the kids and so we got the kids together for a trip to Peter Piper Pizza.
I love to see Selina interact with Rita and Racheal. The twins just love her and are so good to her. They cared for her and helped her so much in the adoption center. They tried to help keep her happy so she wouldn't cry. It is fun to watch their relationship change. At first they almost wanted to take over caring for her from me, probably because they thought that was their job.

As time has gone by, now they interact with her and give her attention and then run off to be kids with their siblings and Kman and Cater.


Selina just loves pizza. She starts repeating "pizza, pizza" over and over again when she sees it and has been known to polish off more pizza than Kman! I love the way she even has her dimple on as she puts the cheese on her slice!LOL

It is times like this that remind me how fortunate I am to have Chalene in my life. She has been such a wonderful support and friend and we have so much fun together. Having Rita and Racheal in Selina's life just makes me tear up when I think of how much joy it brings her. She just lights up when she sees them. I can only imagine the comfort she must feel to see their familiar beautiful faces.

That was such a fun day! I absolutely LOVE the picture of the girls walking away. You are so good with snapping those memory shots. I can't wait until Akawesi gets here and then it will be another face Selina will hopefully smile at. :)
