Saturday, a lot of the Jung family returned to Indianapolis to attend Grandma Phoebe’s funeral. We are all spread out across the US (and even as far as Shanghai), but came back together again to say our farewells at Crown Hill Cemetery.

By the time we made it back to the house, it had gotten quite dark. But it made for this incredibly lovely view.

Over the weekend, several of us were staying at Stacey and Shane’s house. On Friday night, Jahnu was queuing up YouTube videos (he recently discovered some of the vieos I’ve posted of him and Jasmine), and tracked down several of the commercials that my family was involved in, circa the mid 1980’s.

Another milestone, for my Grandma Phoebe – as family and friends gathered to celebrate her 105th birthday. Lots of dim sum, birthday cake, balloons, photos, and no small amount of face swapping on our mobile phones. A fun day catching up with cousins and nieces and nephews from all over (and technically all over the world).

On Friday evening, Liz and I arrived (a little late) and joined my family at my parents’ house. Several family members came back to celebrate my grandma’s 104th (that’s right, 104) birthday.

Liz and I left for Indianapolis late in the morning (a little later than we intended), but made decent time along I-65. While in the car, Liz was working on some hand-made presents: two knitted dinosaurs. These were gifts that she had started a few weeks ago, and was finishing up the legs and eyes on our trip. I snapped…

Fast forward a bit to Stacey and Shane’s new house. We spent most of the night in the living room, watching a sugar-fueled Jasmine play around. Here she is with my cousin Haley. Nesta, one of the nicest doggies in the world. Around now, Andrew, Jordan, and I accompany Shane to go visit the house where all his fish are…

My oh-so-cute niece Jasmine turned one today! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since she arrived. Here are all her presents – tons of stuff from uncles, aunts, grandparents and great-grandparents. The birthday cake (I don’t think Jasmine’s really had all that much sugar before today). Jasmine poses with Grandma Mary. Look at all those presents! All during…

After a late lunch, I ended up spending the afternoon with Andrew, David and Allison down at the Circle Center mall. The four of us went up to the top floor, where there was a big-ish arcade setup. It’s been a while since I’ve been in an honest to goodness arcade, and most of the games are now multiplayer co-op…
