Tropical Storm Faye . . .

Nolan has officially made it through his first tropical storm . . . Faye came through last weekend bringing more rain than I have ever seen in a 24 hour period . . . We made it through fine, our power only flashed a few times. I found out a few days later that there were people within 3 miles of us that were out of power for 3 days so we were quite lucky! I'm just posting a few pics from the last few weeks . . .

More of Keyla's visit . . .

Here's a few more pics from Keyla's visit. They include some pictures from our bbq and our trip to the beach. We hope she had as much fun with us as we had with her, and we can't wait to see her again soon!

Mema helping Cailan and Ashlan hold Nolan. Our nieces were all very excited to hold Nolan and they were all very gentle with him, I think they are going to be great babysitters one day!

We were striking a pose for the camera

A very special visitor . . .

Ryan, Nolan and I had a very special visitor this week. Keyla (Auntie Keyla to Nolan) came down from Mass to meet Nolan for the first time. She was here for 5 days, and we packed a lot into that time including, a bbq, a trip to the beach, and even pedicures (sadly for Ryan and Nolan the pedicure was a girls only event . . . ) We had so much fun, that I am only posting one picture from the weekend now and will hopefully post several more tomorrow after I get some much needed rest . . . We were all sad to see Keyla go, but I'm sure her husband, John, and her kids, Nathaniel and Ayva, were very happy to see her when she got home this evening!

Just a few new pics

I'm posting a few new pictures of Nolan . . .

bath time is his favorite time!

Just so everyone knows it's not all fun and games here at the Johnson household . . . Being overly tired is NOT his favorite time!

A few Days in Jax . . .

Over the weekend a good friend of mine, Mike (aka Wilson) moved to Jacksonville from good ole' Columbia, MO . . . Ryan had to be in Jax for work and this coincided with Mike's big move so Nolan and I got to go with Daddy to Jacksonville for a few days, stay in a hotel and visit with Mike. This was Nolan's first hotel stay, I was a little worried about him sleeping but the days were so busy that he was out like a light each night. Unfortunately they were doing some construction on the hotel we were staying in and that woke us up bright and early . . . Here's a few pictures from Jacksonville as well as one from earlier last week.
