Our Spring in a Nutshell

We have stayed quite busy the last couple of months....here's a quick catch-up:

Ella and I had a "girls day out" at Jefferson Pointe



Of course, we had to hit Barnes and Noble



We've had a few playdates....



One of the highlights of the last few months for Ella is getting to see Yo Gabba Gabba!



First offical Easter Egg hunt. Our subdivision does one every year for the kids.



Showing off all her loot. :)



Coloring Easter eggs...



Ella loves her cousins! Hanging out for Easter at Gma's house.



The Easter Bunny came!!!






Off to breakfast at church. Posing with Emma. :)



In our anticipation of the zoo opening, we spent an afternoon at Franke Park feeding the ducks and checking out the playground, of course! :)





Ella and I spent a day at Shipshewanna with my bff Jen. We hit a bunch of little shops and had a good day.

There was some music to listen to at one of the stores, Ella was movin' and groovin'!




There were quite a few shops that were kid-friendly, and Ella had to check it all out!






And, of course we had to hit the Merry-Go-Round! I was still pretty nauseous at that stage in my pregnancy, so "Aunt Jen" happily rode with Ella for me!




Ok, so I've realized I have a LOT more pictures than I realized, so I'm going to stop here and do the rest in another post. Sorry for the length, but that's what happens when you disappear for almost 3 months!!! :)

Waaaayyy behind.....

Gee, can you tell I was a procrastinator all through school??? I really thought having this blog would help me keep up-to-date on the happenings on our lives, but that hasn't really proven to be true. So, for those of you that actually check this blog, I apologize for the delay. I really have good intentions of keeping this caught up! :)
I'll start with the biggest news of the last few months in the Johnson house.

Let's see...what could be new???? Ummm, maybe a BABY??!!! Yes, that's right, we are expecting baby #2! I am 20 weeks along now, almost HALFWAY! So hard to believe. Oh, and by the way...it's another GIRL! :) :) I was NOT going to find out what we are having, I didn't with Ella and I loved the surprise. But, for some reason, a week or two before our ultrasound this week, I decided I just HAD to know. I tried to shake it, but the feeling was just there. I talked to Brad about it and he said he would like to know too, but would do whatever I wanted. Another reason we decided to do it is because Ella was very insistent that the baby was a girl and if anyone mentioned a boy or brother, she would get really upset. I decided we needed to know to prepare her if, in fact, it was a boy. Anything to make the transition a little smoother.... So, that's how that came about. And, as my sister said...it's like opening your Christmas present early..Oops! But, I'm glad we did it because now I can shop 'til I drop at garage sales this Summer! Ha

Well, I have many more blogs to post to get caught up, so I'll get to work! I'll leave you for now with a recent pic of Ella in typical Ella fashion:
