Introducing...

No, I did not fall off the face of the earth, things have just been a little hectic 'round these parts because...
It's a girl!!

With much love and excitement, we are proud to announce the arrival of our daughter: Maya Hazel Ehrlich. Born on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 12:24 pm at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC, she is healthy, full of life, and absolutely gorgeous. Maya was 7 lb 5oz and 18 1/4 inches long. Below is our first family photo.



Maya is named after my Great Grandpa Morris and David’s Great Uncle Herman. Both men played a significant role in our lives and those of our families.



The name Maya has several meanings. Our favorite explanation is that the name has been derived from the Greek expression meaning 'Great' because she is our absolute greatest joy.



We came home on Saturday afternoon. Everyone is doing great, and both of us are so in love with our little girl.





Yesterday, we gave Maya her Hebrew name, Miriam Ronit.



Maya has been getting to know her wonderful grandparents and great grandparents this week. We can't wait for all of you to meet the newest member of our family!
