Kate and the Flapjacks at Purdue

This is summer. How summer evenings are meant to be spent; sitting on the lawn outside the union on the Purdue University campus. A little cool for a summer evening but comfortable. Perfect, in fact. People are sitting in lawn chairs, on blankets, on benches. Some are picnicing, there are bikes leaned up against trees, some people wander through by accident and stay. Children are dancing, toes are tapping.
Music makes it way through the trees, between the campus buildings....The Woodstove Flapjacks at Purdue Summer Concert Series. Kate sang a few songs with them. Gorgeous evening for an outside show. If you haven't gone to one of these July Wednesday evenings you've been missing a good time.
I bring the baby over to hear his momma and daddy play tonight. His other grandma, Carol, rides up on her bike. We pass the baby back and forth between us as we swap grandma observations and listen to the music. Kate and James are singing together on stage. Carol holds the baby and I am alternating my camera between band and baby. Friends of mine, of Carol's, of Kate and James, stop to admire the baby, ask how things are going.
This is what it should be. This enjoying new life among us. This gathering of family. All sorts of family. You are one blessed kid, little one.
