Show Posts if is_front_page

I’ve set a static page as my front page. I’m trying to show the 2 latest posts on that page. I’ve got the code working to insert the 2 posts, but I need to some how enclose that code in an is_front_page statement.

Here’s my code for page.php:

<?php $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=2&order=ASC'); foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
    <div>
	<?php the_title(); ?><br />
        <?php the_date(); ?><br />
        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
