Dear Great Grandpa Johnson,

Our dear Great Grandpa Johnson was such a great man, lived a great life and left a great legacy!  I am very honored that I was so fortunate to spend as much time with him as I did, thanks to my wonderful husband. 

We're very excited that Leah had some quality time with him...to see his face light up when he saw her was truly an amazing feeling.  She brought him such joy! 


We honored him this fall in a ceremony at Arbor Lake, probably his most favorite place in the whole world to spend his time.  We spread his ashes next to Great Grandma Johnson by the lakefront at their house. 





It was a wonderful weekend with family and at the most peaceful place on earth.

Halloween - a Pooh of a good time!

As you can imagine, we had to go trick or treating with Leah this year, however we aren't really very friendly with our neighbors...So, we went over to Grammie (Joan) and Grandpa (Erwin)'s neighborhood, which is very family friendly and of course, we know a handful of their neighbors better than we know our own...

Leah had such a great time, I think she thought she was just getting to go visit all these people, so of course she LOVED seeing all the houses.  We helped Leah walk up to the door and would knock on the door, when they answered, Leah would just start walking in their house.  Every time.  It was a riot!  And of course everyone thought she was the cutest thing...



What a great Halloween...I'm afraid next year, we'll all have to dress up when we go trick or treating...better get those costumes ready!
