Happy Easter

He is Risen

In like a lamb out like a lion

Well hello every one

We have had not much excitement take place in our lives over the last couple weeks. We have been busy working our jobs and mission banquets to attend at church. Aside from that the Johnson's have been taking in easy. Although the only thing that hasn't been easy for us has been the weather. A week ago Friday, 3/14/07 we had 62 degree weather. I was our riding my Harley and Linnea, she was walking around in her chacos. If that isn't enough this Friday the 21st, Kalamazoo received a 14 in blast of snow which fell at about an inch an hour. For many it was, "how could this happen?" And for others, just the simple fact that it was Michigan was enough of an explanation. As for our little Eli who had already made the transition from snowballs to sticks. Its as though his little doggy prayers have been answered. He is loving the snow once again.

Enjoy the week

Yet another wedding

Hello everyone,

Linnea and I attended yet another wedding last night up in Grand Rapids. A college friend of Linnea's decided that she and her better half wanted to tie the knot. It was a beautiful wedding.The ceremony was held at a rather large Catholic church is GR where the inside was amazing. The architecture in this church was just simply stunning. As was the after party. A live blues band carried us into the late night hours. Which by the way as some of you know, when you get older/ married, the late night hours are anything after 9 p.m. and before 11p.m. Yeah we had a good time and our company made this night a night to remember. As for miss linnea and her face. I just want everyone to see that this is the look I get. Men you know, " the look" when you have done something wrong!

Have a great week everyone and stay safe out there.

Eli's a big Brother

Hello Everyone,

Well I believe it's safe to say that our poor dog is completely confused as regards to the additional toys and clothes that have been brought into the apartment. On top of that our little daughter was kicking Eli's paw this evening. He jumped a little bit but I think he has a sense that some changes are going to take place rather soon.

As for Linnea and I we are staying busy with work and our extras. The other night we dressed ourselves in 80's clothes and went to the roller skating rink. I have never smelt such a smell as 30 year old roller skates. After I was done making several hot laps with the high school kids I threw out my socks. Aside from that nothing is to new. Although linnea's belly continues to grow as you can see. From the latest measurement, she is 26cm . Comming along rather nicely

Have a great week

Wow, you women are crazy!!!

Hello Everyone,

This afternoon we had our baby shower for our little baby girl that is soon to be coming. Linnea is now 26 weeks for those of you wondering and soon, oh so soon we will be welcoming our little girl. And let me tell you our little daughter is already, as they say in Kzoo, hooked up! We recieved so much stuff today. It truley is amazing how much God has blessed us. So many great people have purchased items for us. In fact we spent so much time working on the baby room today that a nap was much needed. And let me tell you, big papa johnson didn't have any problems falling asleep after he had to be with 30 some odd women today. Plus carring all the gifts up three flights of stairs... yeah, can we say tired. In fact I fell asleep learning that "B" is for bear.

Have a great day

Please stop kicking me!

Hi Everyone,

Well another busy week has come and left Linnea and I. Seems as though the days just fly by one right after another. The other night I had a great experience with my daughter for the first time. I decided that I needed to place my ear on linnea's belly to listen and hear what our daughter was doing inside. Wouldn't you know as soon as I had place my ear on Linnea's belly I was getting kicked in the head. Our little daughters kicks have become very powerfull, especially over the last couple weeks. In fact you can now see them just watching linnea's belly. Well thats it all for now. I believe Eli has just informed me that he wants to go snowshoeing out in the woods. Can't really argue with him on that. It's a beautiful sunny day here in kalamazoo!!

Enjoy your weekend.

Visibility.... ZERO

Goodmorning to all,

Hopefully this posting finds you relaxing on a Sunday afternoon and staying warm inside your homes. As for Eli and myself, we have been out helping the grounds crew boys at our apartment complex clear the sidewalks of snow. One would have to say that the two of us are crazy considering the temperature is 5 and with the wind chill it's about 25-30 degrees below. Despite the bone chilling temperatures and a visibility of about zero, there was a job to be done. And who better then the johnson boys/animals. After all, I have to honestly say that both of us salivate at the site of cold weather and large snowflakes. Enjoy your day.

-Eli and Kevin
