[Two weeks after Smadar’s birth]
Finally today the video tape was delivered, in the latest snow storm, about 11:30 a.m. I went immediately to the VCR. I watched the last half hour first, when Smadar comes on the scene, and was utterly impressed with our wide-eyed beauty. Four and five days old and her eyes were so big, she was so awake, even already trying to get her fingers in her mouth.
Then I went back to the beginning and believe me there wasn’t a boring minute on it. I look forward to watching it several more times. Doron’s development is so phenomenal. I found myself smiling through the whole hour and half at his antics. … His reaction to Smadar brought a lump to my throat. he was so sweet, so tender with his touches and his kisses. I have to conclude that even when Doron is grouchy he is fun to have around. The way his face lights up when Yuval appears is wondrous. I hope Grandma and Grandpa get beams half as bright while we are visiting.
