Fun-filled Saturdays

Kenyon has discovered the library to the pleasure of her Nana, whose profession just happens to be college librarian. We go to the library every Saturday morning to turn in the pile of books only to check out an even bigger pile. We don't have to go weekly, but I can only read some of those books 10 times then I start to make stuff up when we read...or better yet skip pages.

The two books of choice are Clifford the Big Red dog and Arthur. Kenyon fell in love with Arthur's Underwear in which he keeps dreaming he has forgotten his pants. I was glad to see that one go into the library drop box.

These are also popular on our Netflix watch instantly. I guess it could be worse.

After our playdate with Ryan fell through today we decided to swim anyway. After dinner alfresco poolside we used our BnR coupon. Kenyon got pink bubble gum ice cream on a cone dipped in chocolate with sprinkles. It looked very cute with her twirly skirt outfit she had on today.

She wore this to the library with her Dora purse and Dora ball cap. She was just adorable. Even the librarian did. She tried to give the librarian money for her books. I tried to tell her they were free, but we had to return them I guess she confused it with the bookstore.

Nana & PaPa are coming tomorrow and hopefully Ryan will be able to come over next weekend. Have a great weekend...we are!

How in the world did it get to be September

I can't believe it has been almost 10 months since my last post. It has been a crazy year in the Johnson household. First and foremost the Johnson's relocated, not to a deluxe apartment in the sky but to a bigger house in a neighborhood one block form K's daycare.

Many firsts have happened to us this year....

• Kenyon's first "real Christmas"


• Sara's first room that she got to decorate all herself


• Our first major snowfall in the DFW area


• The first Johnson 4th of July party coupled with K's third bday party...in the same day


• The first year without Finn....sadly he was sick, but made his time with us so special. We still miss him


• Hank's first year at the NE campus


• Our first year with Nana & PaPa living close by


• Our first year with lots of new playdates and friends for the girls

Perhaps the best thing this year has been our swimming pool! We have spent hours and hours playing and teaching K to swim. Don't worry we have been using sunblock 50!

Well, I am glad to be back in the blogging world. Stay tuned!
