Dear Jackson,

We are still having the best weather in the Netherlands. It had been in the upper 70's and low 80's all week and this weekend it is supposed to be in the 90's.  A little too hot when you don't have air conditioning but we are enjoying the time outdoors and no rain!  Daddy is even watering the grass here because it has been so dry. 

Today you and I went to the park with the Coffeys, the Custers, and the Madsons.  You played with Liam, CoCo, and Abby and splashed around in the pool there.  You and Liam even had on almost matching shorts! There was a peacock at the park that you were fascinated with and it yelped once when you got close to it and you jumped.  You were scared just for a second and then thought it was funny!

You have been tired all day and grumpy but had a huge afternoon nap! Tonight you were so tired that you even sat on my lap to snuggle while we read books before bed!  That is my favorite time of the day when you want to snuggle with me!  It doesn't happen very often but I will take it every chance I get!!

Love,

Mom
