Happy Birthday Israel

Today is the second birthday of our grandson, Israel. Until a month ago when his baby sister arrived, Israel was the baby of the Hedges grands. Israel is the fifth of John and Debbie's six children. He is well-adjusted, cheerful, highly intelligent and of course, the most beautiful little boy in the world. (I'm his gran, OK?)

The last holidays when we spent time with Debbie, John and their children, we noticed how little Israel just amuses himself - for ages - while everyone else gets on with life.

He was only months old when he traveled by landcruiser with his parents and siblings to Mozambique. He spent most of his first two years with his family in Mozambique until his mum returned to their home in the Drakensberg to give birth to his little sister, Keren.

We love you, darling boy.
