Dear Diary*,
I'm so happy. Uncle Fred and Aunt Julie from
America are coming to visit us next week. Every
time they are in Israel, they come to our house
for dinner.
I always enjoy talking to Uncle Fred and Aunt
Julie. They have funny stories to tell us.

Dear Diary,
Uncle Fred and Aunt Julie are coming today.
My family is getting ready for the visit. Mom

Look! I see Uncle Fred and Aunt Julie outside.
Wow, they have a new dog! What a surprise!
I’ll write again soon…
