Choosing your family members

Today, we had a tea after the service in honor of the Archbishop's visit.  I got to play with my niece/goddaughter, which was a joy.  I took it to be my auntie prerogative to introduce her to selfies.  :)  She liked my phone, but wasn't interested in smiling, until someone gave her a banana.

When I asked her parents if I could post the pictures on Facebook, they both said, "if you don't mind, it's fine."  I pointed out that she's not my daughter, so it's not my call, and her father insisted that she is my daughter.  We went back and forth a couple times, then I "was quiet" (gave up).

Family does indeed grow with whomever you choose to include.
