Life is GOOD!!!!

I am just amazed at how well Olivia is adjusting. She is learning English so quickly. She will repeat any thing you say, this has kept us on our toes. She seems to be warming up to her Daddy lately which is great... The brothers are definitely a favorite. There is a LOT less crying and a TON more giggling and laughing around the house. Craig's sister Shannon came home this week while she was on spring break to meet and spend some time with Olivia. She even stayed with her while Craig and I went with the boys to Pullman WA. with our Youth group to see a big Concert. I have also left her a few times with my mom she seems to do pretty good but they say she definitely know that Mommy is gone, she'll walk around saying "mommy Bye bye" and she is always SOOO happy to see me. And I feel like the first time mom leaving her, all I can think about is her and how she is doing the few times I have been gone even though its only been a few hours. I do feel like she knows that were her family she seems to have a sparkle in her eye when she looks at me and says " I LOVE YOU MOMMY". My heart just melts even typing it. Some times I cant even believe its true that she's really here. I praise God daily for how well she fits in to our lives she just seems to be a Johnson! We celebrated my dads 61 birthday on Sunday with my brother Jimmy and his kids... she loves all her cousins. I'm having the time of my life I feel like I can enjoy her and find myself just wanting to stay at home with her. But I do have to say in the morning I feel like I get to dress a real baby doll I am having SOOOOOOO much fun with her hair and clothes, who knew little girl clothes could be so much fun, she is her mothers daughter she loves to change her clothes and get dressed up and she loves shoes. And I forgot how much fun it was to play barbies. GOD is so good to me. We all are adjusting to the "NEW normal " if you could say we were ever really normal.
