Welcome to the world....

I've gotten a couple of complaints that I am not blogging enough (sorry, Ev). I tried to explain, now that I'm a little hung up (not allowed to fly anymore) there isn't much exciting to report! It is hard to go from blogging about weekend trips to Turkey to blogging about how many sugar cookies I baked in one weekend...So instead of writing about my cookie-baking, relaxing, house organizing week, I thought I would take this opportunity to welcome a couple of new little guys to the world:

First - Bennett James Olsen - born December 7th - 5 pounds 2 ounces.
Bennett is the son of our great friends Joel & Julie Olsen back at home...such an amazing story about how Bennett (truly taking after the meaning of his name, "little blessed one") made it into the world. He was about 8 weeks early, but very healthy and doing great!

Second - Marshall Townsend Buckley "Townes" - born December 17th - 8 pounds 7 ounces.
He is the son of our good friends Coy & Kacey Buckley here in Zurich. I just got to visit him this morning and he is so precious, already a good sleeper like his daddy.

So there you have it, life is definitely transitioning to babies babies and more babies :) This one still has about 9 weeks to go, and she is doing great. She measures a little smaller than her weeks in utero, looks like she might end up taking after mommy instead of daddy in the height department.

Lots of love to those at home, we miss you...
