Welcome and Thank You!

We would like to welcome and thank you all for taking the time and interest in our blog which is designed to allow everyone to stay abreast with everything that is going on with what is sure to be a very busy and joyous time in our lives. We intend on keeping this as up to date as necessary with the kind of information (cliche included) that would interest all of you. The more participation, the better, so feel free to ask questions or make comments and we will respond as quickly as possible. Both of us will be adding posts and responding to comments. I'm sure it will be fairly easy to determine who wrote what based on the "lingo". Thanks again and we look forward to hearing from everybody.

Free Holiday Cards

To all of you already in the holiday spirit, shutterfly is offering a promotion for 50 free holiday cards for bloggers!  I have looked at the site many times before and even received a gift card from my baby registry but I have yet to order anything.  All their Christmas cards are super cute!  Check them out at http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards for Christmas themed cards or at http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards  for holiday cards. We do a picture card every year and I cant wait to get ours ordered!!! Here are a couple of the ones I am thinking about for this year....







They even have super cute ones with room for multiple pictures.  I will have to remember these for next year when we have a little one to include.





The website has many other things to order as well.  The calendars are really cute and can make a great Christmas present for parents or grandparents. Check this out at http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars. This is a great site for all kinds of cards and stationary...not just holiday stuff!  I have yet to order anything from them but I am ordering my cards from them for sure this holiday season.  I will probably be back many times to order baby related things in the near future.  Hope you all find something you like. 

  Happy browsing!!!!

Beginning of the Nursery

I am now almost 20 weeks along - half way there - Woooohooo! I think I have started to feel the baby move but since this is my first experience I am not really sure if it is him or not.  With the holidays right around the corner we have started planning the nursery as we will be really busy with family and friends the next couple months. The last couple weekends we had the bedroom painted. It turned out great!  Here are some pictures of what it looks like before the furniture.




His name will eventually be hung on the wall once we get the furniture in there. 

Since we haven't mentioned our first baby on the blog yet I figured I would add a picture today since it is his 2nd birthday!  Happy Birthday Smitty!!!!

It's A Boy! Mason Jordan Johnson!

It's official, Baby "J" is a boy! As a father of course, I am extremely excited about having a son to carry on the Johnson name. Obviously, Jackie is too, although her friends and family had her convinced she was having a little girl. The Johnson side of the family is especially excited because the last 6 children have been girls and a baby boy will be a nice change for the male cousins. I was able to get a little shopping done today after we found out the gender and as one might expect, the outfits involve drinking and MJ23. These are a couple of them. Look out ladies, there's a baby Kurt on the way...
