Tomi's Visit: The Arrival

Tomi arrived on the 28th of August late at night. My dad picked her up and we met for yogurt at Orange Leaf. We had a great time chit-chatting and laughing at my dad's stories. We hugged a lot and I am sure we looked a little funny and kid-like while we hugged and kissed like sister-who-haven't-seen-each-other-in-2-years would have hugged and kissed :) (that was a mouth full and probably grammatically incorrect... I don't care :))

After yogurt we went to the hospital where my mom works, since that is really the reason Tomi came. For my mom's b-day. It was a sweet reunion. We talk to Tomi almost daily and it is amazing to have her here! Tomi bawled like a baby when she saw my mom, it was cute.

We met some of my mom's co-workers and then took our picture together and parted ways until the morning. It was SO fun to be together again!!!

We ran to the store for some last minute things and came home to make my mom's cake for the next day. My mom loves orange cake with dulce de leche filling and a brigadeiro frosting. It turned out really yummy!

Tomi was beat from her trip but we managed to get to bed by 2am! This was just the beginning of a great and very busy week.

Sisters are the best!!!!

I was wondering why Wendy was M.I.A.
Good to know.
I'm sad I missed your sisters visit.
She's always cool to hang around and great for laughs.
