Bath time


I left Israel as the sun started to appear, while reflecting on the three wonderful days spent with you.  In spite of the sadness of Nahum's death and concern about Anne's health, seeing you, my darling Yael, was pure joy.  You are already so alert and interested in everything around you.  Apart from your noisy protests each time you are placed in the car baby seat, you are a very easy going and adorable baby.  You bring joy to us all.

I'm also so impressed by the way in which your parents are bringing you up.  I am sure that their relaxed and loving approach is the key to why you are so content.  As I went to sleep on my early flight from Tel Aviv to Prague this morning, I had this cute image in my mind of you taking a bath last night, when I took photos for which you will certainly not be thanking me in years to come.

Happily, my connnecting flight from Prague to Amsterdam was on time, and I then took a fast train to Rotterdam to arrive on schedule for my client meeting.

We may live in differant countries, but as I prepare for bed this evening, I promise myself that I will make every effort to see you often.  So.....see you soon!
