Dear Boo,

On Sunday we went to a baseball game with some of Mama and Dada and Tucker’s good friends. You were there too, but I suppose you couldn’t see the game, could you? It was Tucker’s first baseball game too, but he mainly had fun playing with his friends Levi and Jesse and Keegan, showing off all the new words he has learned to say and how well he can climb steps. I’m sure he’ll be a great help in teaching you how to do those things when you are ready.

Right now Mama is busy packing her suitcase, because this week you and Mama are going on a special trip for a couple of days to a place called Minneapolis. Mama has work to do there, but while you’re there you get to meet her friend from college, Colleen. You get to ride on a plane and everything! How exciting. Tucker and Dada will miss you and Mama a whole lot, but we’ll have some special time together while you are away.

This week you’re the size of a large heirloom tomato! Tomatoes are a very common but very versatile vegetable with a ton of uses, both raw and cooked. We use them in sauces and soups and salsa and lots of other places. We’ve been especially enjoying getting nice tomatoes this summer from a local farm, so they are really fresh and delicious. It’s hard to believe you’re so big now!

Love,

Dad
