The Junkel Family

This is pretty much always the way Charlie reacts to the swing.

Charlie and His Furry Friend

Play time

You'll notice that in many "play" pictures Charlie is yawning. Or trying to eat, it's hard to call.

Baby face

Post-bath. He loves being clean but he hates having his clothes taken on and off.

Grandma and Charlie

Charlie sees the world

Grandma insists that babies need stretch and grow time.

Charlie and His Mommy

After His First Bath Time

Do you see his fluffy friend in the background?

Charles on His Way Home

His Great Aunt Julie gave him this outfit!! And look how cute he is!

Baby's first night

He was not happy until he was wrapped up tight, but we all slept.

New Baby

Here's Charlie with his daddy.






This is the quilt my grandma Margaret made him, it got lots of compliments. Not as many as the beautiful baby, of course.

Charlie Is Born

Justin calls him 7 pounds 3 ounces of terrific.

Dad

Here's my dad in his new "World's Greatest Grandpa" gear. He's Jeffrey Charles, is anybody seeing a theme?

Grandpa

For those of you who don't know, my son's namesake is my father's father, Charles Johnston. He unexpectedly died yesterday, and I wanted to put up a couple of my favorite pictures of him. A few years ago, we convinced him to try on his uniform from the Korean War, and it fit! He was a great man, and we'll miss him. http://www.funeralquestions.com/obits/lensing/memorial.asp?listing_id=109484
