The life of a Johnson in Dublin

Since we moved back to sunny California we have decided that this would be a good way to try to keep our family and friends from afar updated. We have embraced the over the top soccer addiction here and now have 3 kids playing! Each day brings us happy surprises and challenges to work on together as a family. We hope our life out here in California will be enriched, strengthened, and full and that we will be better people and a bonded family from our memories here.

Hurray for Mothers!

Visiting the Oakland Zoo with Grandma.

Watching a movie on movie night with Grandma Mickies

Getting up a bubble can be a full time job!

We are so grateful to our wonderful mothers and grandmothers who came out to California and spent time with their grandchildren to help us out the first 2 weeks after Alice was born! They were a blessing in our lives and we miss them dearly now that they have gone home! We hope they have a wonderful mother's day and know how much we love them!
