Welcome to the world!

We are so excited to announce the births of two little girls, Geneva Lynne Swem and Emerson Jayne Bruce.

Geneva was born on November 10 at 1:50am China time in Shanghai, China. She is our 5th neice; the third daughter of Michael’s sister, Jenny, and her husband Alex. Jenny was only in labor for 20 minutes- I guess she can attribute this for being 9 days overdue! Jenny said her experience in the international hospital has been excellent…which makes all of us overseas breathe a sigh of relief! Enjoy these pictures of little Geneva as her sisters and parents meet her for the first time. We wish we were there! (hopefully in the Spring!)

Vera gives Geneva some kisses for the first time!

We hear Wendy Jane adores her new little sister!

Mom and baby love looking at each other :)

And this is the coolest thing about the advancements in technology. We skyped with Jenny and Geneva just hours after she was born. How cool!


Remember our announcement in March about our good friends Terry and Ellen Bruce being pregnant? Well, their little girl has finally arrived, and EARLY! Emerson was born on Thursday, November 5, in Charlotte, NC almost a week before her due date. It seems these little girls wanted to arrive on their own time! We are so happy for our dear friends as they embark on this new journey called parenthood.


Congratulations, we love you all!
