The Johnson Family


My mom, sister, and I all got to see each other last week with our immediate families. It is rare to all be together these days with distance, kids, and work between us. Here are some highlights from our sweet time!

Cousin Playtime!
Calvin is finally old enough reciprocate play with Addie (nearly 5). Prior to this visit together, Calvin was the happy recipient of Addie's giving him toys and attention, but this time he did more than just stare back! He mimicked Addie when she was acting like a cat, crawling through the bushes, and he followed at a distance (barking like a dog) as she dragged a jump rope around the yard to play with the cats. All animals these days go "woof."
Fort Wayne, Indiana has an AMAZING public park where Cal and Addie played for hours!
Calvin slid down slides, big and small, twisty and straight, until he was exhausted. He reached the bottom of a slide with a big smile on his face. Once his feet hit the ground, he threw his arms back and leaned forward before running back to the stairway for another go. I think the whole arm display was his way of saying he was proud of himself.
Cal and Addie loved these water features that popped up from the ground. While Addie just ran around like crazy through the water, Calvin took a much more cautious approach. Slowly inserting his hands into the water, he'd stomp his feet in place, shake his arms and laugh.
Cal was entertained by Addie's little dance of her own!
A sweet picture of Kim and Addie at the park!
Holding Jack

I keep wanting to have interesting pictures that include Jack, but he doesn't do much except lay in people's arms. So, here a collection of Jack getting held by people who love him.

Grandma Judy
Jack got to meet his Grandma Judy and was quite comfortable with her immediately! I think they are both pretty happy here. =)
