The Story of Abe

I woke up in Toronto last Saturday morning to find an email in my inbox from my mother that my sister-in-law was in labor.

The friend I was visiting helped me get to the airport early, where I was able to get on an earlier flight to Chicago.  While waiting in customs, I logged into my email to let my parents know when to pick me up, and I found an email saying that she had given birth.

When I met my parents on the other end in Chicago, we went strait to the hospital where I met my niece at just eight hours old. Maya Eve.  What an adorable little girl.  They happy parents spent a couple days in the the hospital, and then a couple of days alone in their house with little Maya and their dog, Bandit, getting settled in a bit.

I spent that time at my parents house, and moved over to my brother’s place when Maya was 5. (Days that is, not years)  I think this is one of those cases where pictures say a lot more than words:
