our favorite pastime

a few days at the farm

Laurel and I spent some time at my grandma's homestead farm in Minnesota this weekend...here are a few pictures of our time there.

and here are a few from Duluth...the end of our trip to MN.

I want a blue egg mother

Hi all,
      For those of you that still check this page from time to time, the johnson family is doing well. Laurel along with the Strom boys had an afternoon filled with egg coloring and egg hunts.  It was fun had by all.  Not much to report for us. The summer is just around the corner,  that means school is out for Linnea and summer camps are on for myself, never a dull moment on the homestead.

Take care

Old Man Winter finally Came

Hi Everyone,

 Trying to keep up with the snow... it was a huge failure!

 Even Lisa was albe to come out and play!

 Some tubing action on the hill at camp provided much fun.

           18 inches of snow supposedly fell in our area last week.  For myself I have never saw the snow come so hard and fast at the same time.  It was crazy trying to get all of camp cleaned up. However, laurel as well all the other kids in the area loved it with two back to back snow days.   Even Linnea caught a little winter break.

She dresses herself

Hello again,
          Well, our daughter picks out the craziest clothes known to a three year old. Yet she manages to pull them off like a little princess. Laurel gives us so many smiles each day, partly due to the 5 different dresses she will wear.  Every couple hours a new outfit is being pulled out and put on.   Makes for a lot of wash.  Life is good for us. We continue to love being here in the north. Camp is busy and a lot of changes have taken place, Linnea is working hard with the students at Stambaugh Elementary school.   As for laurel , aside from the dressing up she is wonderful.  She currently is in a super fun stage, funny, witty, tries to tell jokes. I am excited for this little girl, I think she will be very well rounded.   Enough for now, take care for those of you who still check out this site.
Blessings,
the johnsons
