Happy Easter

It has been a wonderful holiday season for us, and preparing for a baby is a great way to feel the spirit of the Savior's atonement! I just want to chime in about how excited we are about spring. The first flowers we have come across this year are growing right outside our front door! They really are a great symbol of the victory of emerging out of the old and preparing for the new.

And, you will be happy to know, that Emily has carried the torch of the Johnson family, even while 9 months pregnant, and hosted an Easter picnic on Good Friday. Even though the blustery, cold wind forced us inside, the chicken salad sandwiches were delicious and Emily was a wonderful hostess. You are getting a glimpse of some of our friends and their kids.

Madison belongs to one of my fellow classmates!

We really missed being a part of things in AZ!

I loved your comments about flowers coming out reminding us of the Savior's atonement making possible change from old to new. Born again. Darling Madison. Thanks for the pix of some of your friends.
