to Bridgitte and Jonathan Raven
a beautiful son
born in Israel
a baby brother for Boaz and Moriah
(and a third grandbaby for moi)
this little one has been playing games with his aba and ima since last wednesday, when bridgitte went in for a c-section because he was breach (not like when I had his breach father and c-section was not an option in the old days) — then she was sent home because he righted himself — then it was meant to be a c-section yesterday because he had flipped the wrong way again — then the doctors turned him the right way so they decided to slowly induce but nothing happened all day yesterday, so they started again today and sof, sof, he arrived safely around 5.00 p.m. israel time and mummy and baby raven are doing well
hopefully a photo will follow – it’s on jon’s blackberry, but he’s not home yet — been told he has boaz’s shape face and moriah’s nose and favours bridgitte’s father’s side of the family — can’t wait to meet him — oh and he weighed in at 3.5 kilo

Mazal Tov Ann!!! ((hugs)) Like I said in my email to you, maybe he’ll be an acrobat when he grows up! ;p
So glad that everyone is happy and healthy and you must be so excited to see them in a couple of weeks!

Congratulations. Rather you than me!
oh val, babies are one of life’s greatest joys – my heart is filled with so much love and nothing surpasses that feeling — for me my children and grandchildren are a blessing
