Maia Jubilee Thomas

My new niece, born June 5 at 1 a.m.

Maia timed her coming nicely. I was just finishing up Bangla classes for the week when my brother Jacob called with the news that she was on her way out. They were staying near a hospital just a few hours north of Bogra, so I was able to jump on a bus that afternoon, and made it up there just before they went in to the hospital. I got to take care of Elias then and the next day while Jacob & Hosanna recovered.

Here she is a few days later with her older brother Elias. He likes to kiss Maia, but his tricycle and balls are still more interesting than a sleeping sister.
