Cherry Street Market
Last weekend in the midst of Harry Potter fever(I had pre-ordered it and got progressively more uptight until UPS delivered it at 10.30am) we went to Debbie's folks' house in Lovells. I hadn't been there since we had Jack. It has always been a very peaceful place for me. It still was but it was different, due to Jack. This is fine but I guess I didn't know what to expect!
On the very outskirts of Kalkaska there is a wonderful little place called the Cherry Street Market. Debbie's folks and other family members tend to stop there on the way to see us as it a pretty great place to buy produce.
So on our way to Lovells we stopped and I grabbed some pics before feeling like I was ccalling attention to myself and decided to stop.

On Campus
Ahh...my iPhoto library grows and grows.
Tonight was the usual routine, the walk before the bath and the laying in the crib. Y'see we have found that a walk and a bath lead to Jack going to bed, I believe the first night we did this routine Jack slept through it all. Now we head out at 8pm most nights, getting back around 8.30 or earlier. We give him a bath and then Debbie feeds him and lays him down, awake, to fall asleep. With this routine he sleeps until about 7.15am. So that is a nice long evening of sleep!
Back to the walk here. Tonight instead of walking down to the bay and back I detoured us onto the campus. Here is what we saw....
shadows..
fungus...
flowers...
a statue dedicated to volunteers...
Outside of the Health & Science Building these two teenaged kids, a male and female, stopped us and asked us if we could take a survey. Debbie said sure. They broke out this stack of numbered photo cards. Debbie asked what the survey was on and they kind of hemmed a bit and then said that it would be of a spiritual nature. So it ended up taking longer than we expected and Jack started fussing(he later calmed down) and so we pulled up short. The first question was what three photos we liked, the next question was why? My three were of a silverware holder that I own, a mountain scene with a lake and then a pathway with orange leaves on the ground. I chose those, I told them, because I own the silverware thing, i have been to a mountain lake and i have seen leaves on the ground. As we were leaving I told the guy that my answers for all the questions was the silverware picture! All the while Debbie looked at the pics(I whipped through them) I was taking pics of Jack, who was chomping on his finger. I quietly snapped a pic of Debbie from below, looking up through the plastic shield in the stroller. She saw the pic and objected to it, so I changed it a bit.

Bumbo
This is one of Jack's recently purchased items, the Bumbo.
Here is the definition of what this is, from Wikipedia:
"Bumbo is also the name of a child development device. Designed like seat and able to be used after the baby has control of their head muscles (generally after 3 months) the chair supports the child and enables them to sit upright."
Debbie loves it and has been using it in the kitchen, on the counter, which is where this picture was taken.
And yes, I put it on my head. Almost broke my nose but I think this is on par with the gorilla puppet/mullet picture that still lives on my mother-in-law's cell phone.
