With warm hearts and open arms, we welcomed Zoya into our family
on Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Both grandmas were able to attend the
birth, thanks to Ken's insistence.

Ken has affectionately coined her~our little petal. Rawly is transitioning well from only child to his new role as big brother. He's quite the helper, finding diapers as soon as she's "stinty", covering her with blinties, showering her with kisses, and even playing the ridiculously annoying music from her swing over and over when he thinks she needs it. Isn't life grand?
Thanks to all of you of you well-wishers, your care and prayers mean so much to us!
Congratulations on your newest addition!! I was looking at that picture of the big group of people around your hospital bed and said out loud to Jeff: "I went to high school with that girl!" Michelle Weickum (I knew her as Michelle Larsen). Seriously, what a small world! So funny.
