Dear Steve and Gisela -

I am so happy and excited for you - you will be wonderful parents......savor every moment of it! (this may be hard to stay in touch with on some bleary-eyed nights!)

Your heart will be full as you hold this precious gift in your arms, and as you guide him and watch him grow...

May your dreams for him come true, in whatever way best suits him...

May the sun always shine on him, and you, his loving parents.

My crystal ball suggests that he will begin his journey into this beautiful world on the evening of Sunday, June 20th (Father's Day this year), and will complete it at 3.33 a.m. on June 21st (the first day of summer)...

I know that you have already chosen his name(s).. however, in the spirit of this "contest" my suggestion for his name is Jacob - with a family name for his middle name - preferably from Gisela's side of the family, to honor the connection between Germany and America - or mine - (Milnes)....

To make it easier for historians to trace his background when he becomes famous!

Love, Mom
