My beloved Mayowa, that's her family name short for Gabriella Olumayowa which is her first and middle name. She is amazing and beautiful and more than I could've ever imagined in one little container of joy.

God has given/brought us joy. I liked the ring to it when she was first born, and my husband is Yoruba. She is a gift, given to us on Nov 3, 2008...
