It has been a very busy fall, but I guess that will likely be the theme around the Johnson household every season!  The kids and I enjoyed a very fun and relaxing day at the zoo earlier this month.  Andrew doesn’t see how it could have been relaxing but the kids were so well behaved it made it very enjoyable.  The highlight was feeding the giraffes!  The kids loved it almost as much as I did.  My personal high point was giving Sam a cracker to feed the baby giraffe, only to turn around to see him give one to the giraffe and one to himself!!!!  I guess I should have explained it betterJ

The kids and I are enjoying school!  It is amazing to see their achievements and how much they improve each week.  Grace started her dance classes this month with hip hop, ballet, and tap.  Grace and Drew are both loving Awana too, we are very happy about that!  Sam is such a ham and cracks us up on an hourly basis; 2 year olds are a blast.  Jake and Alice are growing up too fast.  We just started them on cereal and they actually like it!  I never thought I would have 2 to feed or 5 for that matterJ  They are such a joy, I can’t believe it has already been a year since we first got the news “I see 2 heartbeats”.  Brings tears to my eyes to even think about it.  90% joy and 10% fear or maybe the other way around….only kidding!

We really cherish the time Daddy is home, which isn’t near enough.  He has made our Saturday’s so fun with his famous “Pancake Saturday”…….which includes bacon too!  As for me I guess you could just say I have my plate full being a full time mom and teacher.  I love every second of it!  I know that before we even know it, we will have half of them out of the house.  I will have plenty of time for hobbies and such then, but right now there is no where else I would rather be!

Thanks for checking in with us!
