Cousins

Max and Finn have yet another cousin. Maj Alice Ellberg (pronounced Mai) arrived the evening of Tuesday, May 24th. Big brother Sam will be two in August and since we have not been to Sweden since July of 2009, we haven't even met Sam! We are looking forward to July when we will be able to meet both Sam and Maj! No photo of Maj yet....not sure what is taking my brother so long...send a photo of the new family member please!

The same day that Maj arrived, earlier in the day, our friends Carin and Jim (who now reside in Dresden, Germany) welcomed twin daughters Emma Cecilia and Julia Linnea! Big sister Mia (a year and-a-half years of age) isn't sure what to think of them.. That's Julia on the left on the picture below and Emma on the right. If you ask me, Julia looks just like her mommy while Emma looks just like Jim. Hopefully Carin and the twins were able to leave the hospital yesterday to go home. Sharing a hospital room with another new mother and baby didn't sound ideal and the food...not great. Unless you love to eat bratwurst every day! Since I consider Carin more like a sister than a friend, Max and Finn didn't only gain one cousin on May 24th but three!
