We are really good at taking pictures with our phones and posting those pictures on Facebook. Not so good at transferring those picture here to the blog. This is partly due to inadequate computerness, and partly due to laziness. Either way, this will be a picture-less post.
Things are going well in the Johnson household. Alyse, just in the last 2 or 3 weeks, is growing up. She grabs at things, smiles all the time, and is starting to reposition herself on the floor. Its sad to see our little baby girl growing up, but exciting to think of her crawling and getting in on all of the fun with her brothers.
Kimball has become quite the ham. This is often to Patten's dismay. I walked into a room where the boys were watching Winnie the Pooh the other day to see Patten straining to see the tv with Kimball jumping up and down, as if on a pogo stick, 2 inches from Patten's face. Of course Patten was whining (but not doing anything) about it, and Kimball was smiling. Hopefully they will figure this brother thing out at some point.
Patten has an incredible imagination. I mean incredible. The guy can turn boring objects into exciting fairy tale characters. He can make a feast out of dirt specks. If you need some creativity, step into our basement for 10 minutes with Patten. You won't be disappointed.
Kristin and I decided to paint our front room this weekend. Sadly, it's nowhere near complete. I've decided painting, and house work in general, is something you just have to jump into with both feet - even though you might not have a clue what you are doing. We keep telling each other that it's okay that we mess up here and there, eventually we'll figure it out.
