My friend Shelby from Florida was in MA this week and we got together for dinner last night. Shelby is one of the first people I met on the "Internet" when we started the process to adopt Savannah. Her beautiful Brehana is 3 weeks younger than Savannah. During the process we chatted on the phone and e-mailed a lot and then when our girls were 22 months we met at Downtown Disney together and it was like lifelong friends. Then we saw her in March for Savannah's 3rd Birthday and now. We are hopefully going back to FL in December and will reunite again. They are just the type of people you know you will be friends with forever no matter where you live, what you do, or what twists and turns your life takes. Her son Cooper is so wonderful to the girls and one of the nicest 9 year olds you will ever meet and Savannah and Brehana are both princesses from the same pod. They are so much alike. Sweet and sassy and so three. But, beautiful and wonderful all the same.
I couldn't get the best pictures, but everyone had fun and enjoyed meeting Seth and Shelby and her mom got their baby fix for now. It was so nice to finally meet Shelby's mom who I heard so much about. She is just like Shelby. You feel immediately comfortable with her, like you have known her forever. We did not get to meet her dad who stayed back in FL to hold down the fort and her son Andrew was feeling under the weather.
A whole lot of love with Shelby's Mom--where's Savannah (do you see a little blue behind the chair?)
There is S and B hugging "Grandma" who is holding Seth.
Savananh and Brehana playing. I am glad to see Savannah isn't the only toddler that must click the car seat straps closed. It's a three year old thing.
A second before they were all looking
Cooper got in on the group hug--Savannah's taking a lemonade break.
Seth is up and Brehana is helping Shelby feed him. I love the hand on the hip.
I couldn't move back enough because Seth was sleeping in his car seat, so I chopped off Rich's head and Savannah looked down at her popcorn as soon as I snapped the picture. The second before she was looking and smiling. My camera is too slow. I need a digital SLR.
Mommy and her girl! Can't believe it was three years ago already that we went through the process to make them ours forever. What wonderful girls!

Aww! Looks like the group has lots of fun together. PS Both of my kids HAVE to click the buckles of their car seats also!
ReplyDeleteWe had sooo much fun seeing you again and getting our baby fix.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you again soon....
I told Shelby I was so jealous she got to meet Seth!!! Can you just keep him little until you make here in Dec????
ReplyDeleteOh and a digital SLR was the best investment. I just couldn't deal with the delays.
