Just a quick note...
In the midst of new parent sleep deprivation- please excuse any serious typos! I'm sure there will be many!
Well we are parents now! Peter Franklin Olson was born Monday March 28 at 5:09 PM. He weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz and measured just under 19 inches. Not bad for 3 weeks early!
We ended up having a c-section for several reasons and are thankful for the excellent medical care and wise decisions of our doctor.
I'm healing very very well and head back for a check up next week.
Pete is doing great too! He's getting into the swing of life-eating, sleeping and pooping with gusto. He's a sweetheart and while he didn't get my dimples, he did get David's crooked pinkies:)
David is an excellent Papá, doing so much for Pete- especially since I can't pick him up yet. I think they are bonding very well! David's smiling percentage has risen significantly- if that were possible!

Please be praying for us:
1) Obviously as we rejoice and adjust to all this newness! That we will be wise parents that seek the Lord first in all things.
2) For upcoming logistical work associated with several of our SC churches and their trips.
3) Our wonderful tenants back in our house in VA are moving out of state. We are sad to lose such great renters. Please pray that God will provide new renters by August and that we will not doubt but trust in Him.

Thanks to you all ! We love you
