Awwww! She’s beautiful. Congrats!
That’s what I get for not keeping up on my blog reader – missing an adorable baby picture.
Congratulations!!! So happy for you and your family.

Beautiful baby, beautiful name! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Such wonderful news — and such a cutie!
Wow, thank you very much for all the well wishes! At 10 days old Lina is doing great.
Congrats! And she’s even got a name right out of a children’s book — THE WHEEL ON THE SCHOOL. I guess a stork must have brought her.
Nice to hear from you! Thanks for bringing the knowledge with a Newbery name association – that’s very cool! Lina’s name was actually (partially) inspired by a 2003 kid’s book. Some have said that this book was robbed when it failed to win any Newbery recognition. Any guesses?
