Uncle Joe

While we were in Little Rock, we were able to spend lots of time with great Uncle Joe (great great Uncle Joe to Carly). Aunt Ruth was in the hospital in Little Rock recovering from a hip fracture, so Uncle Joe was staying with my parents during that time. Carly had lots of fun with Uncle Joe. Though he's a bit old (93 years old), he hears exceptionally well, got around really well, and is in good health. He heard and understood most everything Carly said, so he was able to interact with her a whole lot. He rolled the ball back and forth to her, and she gave him a big kiss every morning.


These pictures are extra special to me because Uncle Joe passed away a week after we left Little Rock. He fell at his house in Heber Springs and bonked his head pretty bad, and unfortunately he didn't recover. I am super grateful for the time Carly and I spent with Uncle Joe that week in Little Rock!
