Grandpa died.

Image
My grandfather Joe Yarnelle died recently (center in green). He was a simple man and a wonderful grandfather and we'll all miss him. I joined my family in Wabash, Indiana, last week for his funeral. His health was failing for some time, but his death was no less sad for the family, especially my mom and her sister and brother. My cousins, from left: Joey, John, Me, Hannah, Jamie, and Josh, my brother. From left, Uncle Ken, Aunt Jenny, Grandma, and Mama.

Boy in TRAINING!

We ran a race at the zoo this morning and it was SO MUCH FUN! Art had a blast running a 50 yard dash last year at the Twin Cities Marathon. He got a medal that he wore for two weeks straight. But this one was quite a bit longer - 1/2 a mile! Well, I'd say he walked about 1/8 a mile inbetween running at top speed while wildly flailing his limbs the other 3/8th's. Occasionally he would sigh dramatically and say, "Whoh. I need to take break!" while sitting himself down on the curb. This is me running next to Art after the start. He's on my right. Really, he is. What form!!!

Another haircut.
