A picture tells a thousand words. Enjoy the photos for the final update.

Okay I will say a few things. Wow! What an amazing little girl. Our family is so lucky to have such a wonderful child. I can’t imagine our lives without her. It feels like Maya has been with us from the day she was born. My heart goes out to her mother and father who will miss the experience we are having with her.

Every day is great! Lindsay and Maya have become great sisters. Finally every time Tony leaves and returns she doesn’t cling to me. Maya has completed 6 weeks of swim lessons (imagine that) and swam in the ocean in the Bahamas for Spring Break. She loves picking up Lindsay and our carpool from school everyday. She loves going to Lindsay’s swim meets (probably because all of Lindsay’s friends drool over her). And now that the weather is warmer I can’t get her away from the park. Maya is very active and loves being outdoors. She is growing everyday. Very head strong and sure of what she wants. Jack is probably one of her best friends. Maya is talking non-stop. In fact she was at the doctor the other day and the doctor was amazed at the pronunciation of her words. It seems learning a second language in 5 months is a breeze for one year olds. I actually think she can say the difficult words better than the simple one syllable words.

Our family has adjusted well to the change. I actually left for the day and went snowboarding while Tony stayed home with Maya and Lindsay. Lindsay is now watching Maya while I get out for my runs. You know how important that is to me. Our lives seemed to be moving along the same way just with another wonderful person to share it with.

We will keep in touch!

Lisa, Tony, Lindsay, and Maya
