Family time is my favorite time ♥

On Friday, Sean and I headed to the Bronx to see my mom (my dad is in Ghana for mission work) and youngest sister, Maryanna.

It was a rather spontaneous trip. Sean and I were sitting down Tuesday evening watching the first season of The Walking Dead and he said, "want to see your mom on Friday?" Of course, I was like, "hell yeahs". I asked my mom if she was available and of course she said yes since I'm her favorite and all. I had to take that out. I keep forgetting that my sisters read my blog ;).

I miss my family all the time. And when I'm with them I can't wipe the smile off my face. The joy I feel can't be explained. And it multiplies when I'm with any of my sisters. I love my sisters so much and thank God that I have them.

When Sean and I arrived at my parent's church, we hugged and hugged and hugged. I would not let go of my mom. We talked for what seemed like hours (you should have seen me go, I could not shut up) and finally we decided that a break for lunch was necessary.

We ordered takeout and then walked to the Chinese restaurant to pick it up. Sean loves Chinese food from the city so I made sure that we got it for lunch that afternoon.

And well, let's just say that the walk to the Chinese restaurant ended up with a little photo shoot for Maryanna. Bonus points is that she does not mind to be photographed and I love to take pictures of her. We were having a little too much fun in the streets. People probably wondered about us oddballs but it didn't matter because we were oddballs together.

And I did what I always do, I took too many pictures. I would apologize but I'm not really sorry and only sincere apologies come from me.

And when we walked back from the Chinese restaurant a photo shoot really happened. Sean and my mom did not even bother waiting for us. I can't say I blame them. I mean, look at what we did. And when I say we, I mostly mean me. But my sister was a willing participant, I think.

We finally decided that we were hungry and didn't want our Chinese food to get too cold so we headed back. My mom just glanced up at us quickly with a knowing look before going back to her food. She knows.

After we all ate as much as we could handle we talked and laughed some more. It was just so nice and I wish we could have stayed the whole weekend.

Of course I could not leave without letting my mom enjoy the fun of a photo shoot. It is only fair.

And since I'm not completely evil, I will say that I hope this post did not come across too obnoxious. I will admit that my heart is so happy right now looking at these pictures. Family time, truly, is my favorite time.
