Welcome Home, Twin Tigers

by Benoit Lheureux  |  April 8, 2010  |  11 Comments

Most of my Blog posts here are work-related but I’m making an exception to announce that on Friday, April 2nd my wife, Esther, delivered our Tiger Twins, Oliver Yujia Lheureux and Charlotte Yingjia Lheureux. A couple of days ago we brought ‘em home, seen here upon arrival:

Twin Tigers Come Home

Twin Tigers Come Home

In the picture little sister Charlotte is on the left, as usual snuggling up to her bigger brother Oliver. It doesn’t seem to matter how far apart we set ‘em down, one way or another Charlotte always seems to manage to inch-worm her way over to snuggle up to her bigger brother. :)

My apologies to clients and vendors for whom I had to cancel and reschedule meetings on short notice — after some paternity time off I’ll be back in the saddle, and in the meantime my wife and I are reveling in our new-found (7/24!) pleasures of parenthood.

The adventure begins! :)

Cheers,

- bjl

    Hi Benoit – The little ones look absolutely cute. I wish you, Esther, and your tigers the very best. I hope you and Esther are able to get some sleep as well!

    Thank you for sharing. That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today. How incredibly sweet that they sleep so close, too.
