Good Morning Ome!

Today is Ome's last full day visiting us. PJ greeted her this morning with a big smile and even gave a smile for the camera!

Auntie Amy

We have a great friend that we call Auntie Amy. PJ lights up when she comes over. Tonight while I was making dinner, PJ was a little fussy. Auntie Amy managed to keep PJ on the happy side for several minutes while I finished preparing dinner.

The Perfect Gift

Poppy is a very handy man. His latest creation is the perfect decor for our kitchen sitting area. Thanks to G-Ma for picking out the glass and to Poppy for putting the frames together, they look great!

A Wonderful Christmas

We drove back to Seattle last night; made it back in just 8 hours, even in down pouring rain.  Today we unpacked, did chores, and ran errands.  PJ enjoyed being back in his own room and in his own crib.  He slept in until 7am!  Then his first nap was 2.5 hours long; he didn't even resist the nap!  

Its nice to be back but already missing the Hammell G-Rents tons!  

Here are a few pictures of our Christmas in sunny Medford, Oregon.

Merry Christmas Poppy, G-Ma and Ome!

Today one of the Christmas gifts to our parents, PJ's grandparents is THIS blog.  PJ is blessed to have all 4 grandparents (G-Rents), they all have their own nicknames - K's Mom-G-Ma, K's Dad-Poppy, R's Mom - Ome, and R's Dad - Grandpa Dave.  At first the intention was just for the grandparents to have a place they can go regularly to see the most up to date pictures of their grandson as well as stories of his milestones and cuteness.  As we chatted about the gift idea they added that our family in other parts of the country would also love to view the regular Younkin news.  The blog name is The G-Rent Gazette, as it will be written with the grandparents in mind but its intended to be viewed by all of our out of town loved ones.  We will try to post a picture daily and Younkin adventure stories regularly, let us know what you think and what you want to see more or less of as we go. 
Once again Merry Christmas, we hope this will help our loved ones feel closer to us!
-K, R and PJ
