Jump Jackie Jump

 

Jacqueline's new favorite activity is bouncing.  Friday she bounced and bounced, gigged.  For some reason she would bounce and then everytime she turned and saw my dad she would stop and stare at him.  Then bounce bounce bounce again.  Kate fake coughed at her and she giggles then she would turn and bounce and look at mom or I and we would cough and she would giggle but every time she got to dad she would just stop and stare.  No matter what voice Grandpa tried to cough with he could not make you giggle.  And that made the rest of us laugh which made you giggle all the more.

 Other fun things from this weekend we went to SmashBuger with my whole family. Kate saw it on the Food Network.  It was good.  Grandma Jackie would have loved it. Afterwards we tried to take you to visit Sweetlands Candy in Grand Rapids, (Both sets of my grandparents loved Sweetlands,  my memories of it as a kid are a little foggy but seeing the candy counter and the old style roof on the back of the building brought back memories of both Grandma Jackie and Grandma Audrey.  (That must prove that my sweet tooth is genetic.) They were closed so no FudgeBerry for Grandpa but we will try again another day.  You have at least gotten to visit Jersey Junction in East GR, which always reminds me of shopping at Jacobson's Department store, a place visited with Grandma Audrey and Aunt Fran depending on the time of year.  I am sure the point of those trips was the clothes but I was always more excited about the ice cream.  It won't be too long now before you can try ice cream too.

 

One last picture you with your ball.  Getting so big so fast.
