Day to Day

I thought I'd just post a couple new pictures of the Johnson 3.

I can't say the Johnson girls anymore when referring
to all of our children-although at times I still do!

The girls got to watch the Tinkerbell movie after school today...
Oskar was not that into it.

Can we just take a look at the size of this 10 week old infant?
Greg calls him 98 since he's in the 98th percentile on all of his growth charts...
the boys a tank!

This one here has discovered the school nurse.

I got my first call from her today.  Lily had complained of a sore throat, upset tummy, and had "used a lot of Kleenexes".  The nurse told me she had no temperature and that Lily began feeling better when she realized if she was sick she would miss her first day at Daisies!


This one has her good days
(even with peanut butter and jelly smeared on her face)

and her not so good days

It's not easy being an almost three-year-old,
who. just. wants. to. be. in. charge.

(again with the peanut butter and jelly smeared on her face...on the same cheek as well, different day!)

And, number three is just happy to pose for pictures!

he looks a little too crazy happy in this picture!

that's a little better!

but, he's just too cute!

Lily is, of course thriving and enjoying all of her soccer games
even the ones in the rain.

She is also so excited to be turning 7 this Saturday!

And, I'm excited that I was able to extend my maternity leave and now I won't have to go back to school until November 17th instead of October 6th!

And, Greg's new student orientation at Northern Seminary is this Saturday!

And, Mor Mor and Papa Ocean arrive in Chicago next Tuesday for a fun-filled 10 days!

So, many fun things to look forward too and enjoy these next few weeks.

Stormy

Right now, Hannah Grace is quietly playing with her My Little Ponies.  Oskar is taking a nap, so she is whispering to them as she brushes their hair and puts them into the My Little Pony car.  As she's talking to them, I overheard her say, "Come on girls, we're going to Target"...go figure!

For some reason I keep thinking today is Monday-even though it's Thursday!  But, I thought I'd post some pictures from our Labor Day trip to Stormy!

It was a little colder up there in the North Woods!

Lily caught two trout...you'll get to see one of them next summer if you make it up for a visit!

This little one is never without her accessories, even on the ski boat!

And, we can't forget this little guys second Stormy trip!

And, then I wanted to add this picture for Lauren--it's my new dresser!

The mirror needs to be hung, curtains hemmed and hung properly, and all of my jewelry put away, get a rug, do something with the trim etc. etc., but I do really like the dresser--the drawers are extra big!

I'm off to change out my laundry and make lunch for this little one

And, wait to see how long this little one 

takes a nap!

The last few months

I know I have been very negligent with updating the blog and keeping everyone informed of what we Johnson's of the North are up too...but, in my defense, we have been busy!

I figured the easiest way to show what we've been up to was to post all of our fun pictures...

Oskar Raymond Johnson
July 5, 2010
9lbs, 15oz and 21 inches long

  We love our baby brother..."He's so adowable!"

In other news Lily began first grade

And now, this is where I will end for the night.  I will try to be more diligent about taking pictures of the kids and keeping the updates coming!   Oskar has begun to sleep a little longer at night,  so as I continue to get more sleep, I'll be able to accomplish more!  I will also post some pictures of our new home and the changes we have made so far!
 

Introductions

For you formed my inward parts; 

you knitted me together in my 

mother's womb,

I praise you, for I am fearfully and 

wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.

 My frame was not hidden from you, 

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the 

earth.

 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of

them;

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there were none of them.

Psalm 139:13-16

Baby Johnson #3

Catching Up

Contrary to belief held in the South, we Johnson girls have not
spent the last 4 months dressed as these....

That would be Super Girl and a Cow Princess

We have also dressed up as princesses and former flower girls and then made some sweetrolls.
We kept our beautiful outfits on to enjoy a Saturday afternoon movie with popcorn.
We then lost our first tooth!

And decorated our tree
Then we discovered the joy of snow boarding!
And, lastly we found out that these two sisters

are going to be getting a new baby brother or sister this July 4th!

Hence the blog update stoppage that took place for my first trimester
and lasted a little into the second one.

We go tomorrow for our 20 week ultrasound, so I'll hopefully
have some pictures to show you of the new baby...
but, we aren't finding out if we're having a boy or girl...

you'll just have to wait until after the fire work show!
