You don't know us yet but we're your great grandparents. This is a very long distance greeting since you were born just this afternoon to our granddaughter (your mother) Rivka in Jerusalem.
You are her second son and our fifth great grandchild, all in Israel. You'll be just a little over a month old when we first see you so I doubt you'll remember our visit.
Don't worry, your mother and father will take lots of pictures of us and when you're old enough they will show them to you and say, look – those nice people are your Great Grandparents. We hope you'll smile, maybe point a little finger at the picture and try to say “grandpa” or “grandma.”
We don't know your name yet because it hasn't been given to you but we're sure we'll love it whatever it is, just like we love your older brother, Yonatan. We know he's going to have fun having a younger brother to play with. Of course he'll have to wait a while until you can get around.
We bet your uncles Shmuel (10) and Shragi (7) are very excited about you joining the family. You are only the fourth boy in a family of nine girls. Go Boys!
My goodness, we almost forgot but you are also the fifth grandchild for our younger son, Rick, known in Israel as Yerachmiel. We know how we felt when our grandchildren starting to come. He must be in a state of pleasant shock.
Well, you're no doubt exhausted from your long journey to life so we won't keep you any longer. Sleep tight. We'll be there soon to personally welcome you to the family.
Hugs to all.
