The past year...

I was browsing through this old blog and I was amazed at how quickly time goes by. Here's a VERY abbreviated version of the last year or so...  

About a year ago (July 2011), Mom and I took a whirlwind trip to Turkey, France and Greece. Who would have thought this would be our last girls trip before I'd become pregnant with little Maya.  

6 or 7 weeks after we returned, and about 12 pregnancy tests later... Paul and I were expecting a baby!!!! 9 months ensued... and so did work, school and an impending move to Hanover, NH. 
The photo below is of Paul and I at the National Harbor, DC, about two days before Maya.

 On April 29th, 2012, after being induced, and after 30 hours of labor... little Maya Nicole Turbeville was born at Inova Hospital in Alexandria, VA. Mother, Benji, Chilean cousins and doula (Yhara) all came to the hospital!

Later, "Nina" came to visit...

Mom came back again...

Hey Dad... WAKE UP!!!!

Maya learning all about Dad's credit card at Target.

Yep, she takes after her Dad... and is a bit of a nerd... reading at 2.5 months ;-)

But no kid of mine will be a nerd without a cool streak- that's where Tio/Godfather Ben kicks in...

Sitting like a little lady!
