Dear Baby Boo,

This is an exciting week for us, because this week we will finally be telling your grandparents all about you!

I can tell you right now that they are going to be SO thrilled to hear that you are on the way. You will be very, very special to them, just like you are to us.

This week is also special because we get to celebrate both Canada Day (Canada’s birthday!) and Independence Day (America’s birthday!) together. Mama and I are very fortunate that we were both born in countries where we have so much, when so many people in the world have so little. Some day you will really come to appreciate it too, I’m sure.

You’ve grown to the size of a fig! Figs are delicious fruits that are full of calcium, fiber and minerals, and were one of the first plants that human beings ever tended and cultivated. They also show up a lot in the Bible, practically right from the start.

Love,

Dad
