Welcome, baby Grace!

This past Monday, August 25, Grace Mambo Zama was born. (She started out as Glory, but the relatives re-named her Grace. A fine thing, either way.)

Here she is with her parents, our friends Julia and Isaac. After twelve years of marriage and no children, Julia and Isaac thought they might never have a child. But near the beginning of 2008, they found out Julia was pregnant, a surprise and a miracle.

Here she is in her fancy crib, with her beautiful blanket. She's very tiny, and was sleeping the whole time we visited this afternoon, only opening her eyes a few times and quickly closing them again. She was all bundled up in some cute little clothing, a sweater that was giant on her, and her little hat, not to mention her blanket. That's one warm baby!

Her hair is so soft and curly, and she already looks a bit like her dad. During the two hours or so that we were there, various other people also came and went to visit her and her parents. There are lots of people who are very excited that she's here. Welcome to the world, baby Grace!
