To our first grandson Jared


Once a long time ago there was a little girl just about your size, Jared. She had a brother like you do, named David. Do you know who that little girl was?

If you guessed "Mimi" you would be right. She lived with her Mommy and her Daddy not too far from where you live now.. in a country named Argentina. She was as old as you will be when your mommy's new baby is born.


Not so long ago your Mommy was also your age and she had a brother named Philip. She was almost your size and she and Philip lived in Honduras.



Can you believe that she was ever that little? Do you know that little boy who was just a little bit older than Luke is now your Uncle Philip?




"Mimi" grew up to be a Mommy and that is when your Mommy was born and then your Mommy grew up and got married to ... guess who?



It was your Daddy, Stephen Meier. They met each other in a country far far away called Korea.





By this time "Papi" and "Mimi" had no more children at home and they began to wonder when there would be some children born to your Mommy and Daddy. They waited patiently but one day they got a phone call from Virginia with important news.

They told us that they were going to have a baby and pretty soon we knew you were going to be a boy and "Mimi" began to make her plans to fly up to Virginia to help your Mommy after you were born. Here you still were in your Mommy´s tummy.

Wednesday July 25th your Aunt Anita called your "Mimi" to tell her that very soon you would be born. We got on a plane to go to where you were.

When we got to the hospital you had already been born.. How happy we were!!!








You didn´t want to open your eyes at first but when we turned almost all the lights off behind your Mommy´s bed you opened them and were so happy to see your pretty blue eyes!!











Jared, you will always be special because you were the first grandchild to be born, Luke will be special for other reasons. The next baby that comes will be special too. "Mimi" and "Papi" just wanted to let you know how much we love you...our first grandson...

Now you are such a big boy.. we can hardly believe it!

It was so much fun to go to your Birthday party!!!

You are three years old now!!!






We love you Jared!
