Here's Maia last month when she turned 6 months old:

She's been happy and healthy these last few months and continues to amaze us everyday. I can't believe how fast she's growing and all of the new things she's learning. :-)
The other thing keeping me busy was my dissertation which I finished and successfully defended last month! Yay! I'm so relieved to be graduating with my PhD in May. Hopefully I can find a full time professor position in the next year or two and we can settle our family somewhere finally.
That's my news for now! Have a great week everyone! :-)
