Update...

Madison is doing great and is talking, and almost walking. She is saying more and more every week, and is getting into everything she can.
If you did not know yet we are moving back, and should be back in the next 1-2 months...gotta follow the money...all is well in the Johnson household....

Maddie rocks!!

Happy New Year to all
We got some new pics of Maddie up, we hope you enjoy them, she is growing every day. I also put some different photos in our flickr account to the right.
Everything is good on the home front. Maddie gets her shots Tuesday, and for some reason everytime she gets shots I am out of town, usually on business so Mary takes her. Maddie is sitting up on her own and loves sitting on my shoulders, the kid loves heights.

The weather down here has been cold, in the 50's and 60's and it's been raining alot. I hope it gets warmer soon. We hit Biloxi for a night last weekend with my Great Uncle and had a good time, weekend trips are something we have been planning to go for a while. Our goal is to go somewhere once a month. New Orleans, Texas and Charleston are on our list, and maybe even a Vegas trip.

Mary and I are also enjoying the Nintendo Wii James got her, Nintendo Wii...we would like to play.....Have a good one!!!

Holiday wrapup

We just got home yesterday and practically passed out from exhaustion. We planned to come home Tuesday but our flight was delayed so much that it would have made us miss our other flight.
The trip was excellent and it felt like a month for me. Madison got to meet and spend time with everyone. We are hoping to get back up there for a visit when it gets warmer.
With the New years passing, my new years resolution is to not eat any more fast food junk. My diet has gotten horrible over the last year so I am going to improve it this year. It's simple when I was in grad. school I ate very healthy and felt great, now I eat like crap and feel tired all of the time. We'll see what happens..
We are also going to hit Disney and Vegas this year. I travel to Orlando for work so much that I am going to bring Mary and Maddie one of these times.
Thanks to all that came out and saw us!!

Updates

The holidays are here! We love this time of the year and look forward to coming home for a few weeks. Days off work, parades, turkey, football, family, friends, snow, and our new addition Maddie have us excited about the holidays this year. Maddie is growing and we added some new pics to our flickr account to the right. I am also working on a small video to upload on to this site so look out for that soon.

We are coming home on December 18-January 2nd, alot more time then last year!
I have also taken a few steps to start my own business, while Mary is enjoying motherhood and keeping Maddie nice and full:), and Mary is also looking to take a few classes next year towards her Master's.

That's all for now...adios!

Happy Halloween

Things are well in Florida, despite recent weather. Pensacola was hit hard with tornado's yesterday, but all we got was a lot of rain and some wind.
Maddie is growing....she weighs in at 13 pounds and 10 ounces. She smiles constantly, especially the mornings, and is trying to talk. She stands while we hold on to her and she loves tummy time.
We are looking forward to visiting Akron this Christmas and should be making travel arrangements soon. I know this time we are going to relax and enjoy ourselves because last year was too much on us trying to see everyone in 1-2 weeks. Go Indians and Browns...and Buckeyes!!!!

Updates and New Pics!!

We uploaded about 10 new pictures to our flickr account on the right. Maddie is growing like a flower and her first word was Hi, she said that about 2 weeks ago. Since then she had her 2 month shots and did excellent, and is also saying red, roar, and other sounds. Mary, being a true speech language pathologist is going to have Maddie reciting her full alphabet by this weekend!

My mother has been visiting us for the last week and is leaving tomorrow, it's been nice having her down spending time with Maddie, and it makes me miss Akron. I guess the other thing that makes me miss Akron is the stupid rednecks I am surrounded by, in all seriousness most people are nice down here, but some are just really dumb, especially in Panama City where I do business sometimes. That places has the best looking beaches anywhere, but when you step off the sand it's all down here from there. Oh well...

We got some good pics of Maddie and her grandma today, check them out.

Other wise work is busy, and has it's ups and downs, but I can't complain. I had a nice talk with my boss today and it was very reassuring. My fraternity brother in Minnesota and I will be running the Pensacola half marathon in February, it's 13.1 miles so it will give me a reason to put down the sweets and run more.

Go Buckeyes, Browns, and Indians!!!!

Updates

There's a bunch to update everyone on so here goes...Maddie got her shots yesterday and is doing great. Although I was traveling for work, Mary and Maddie had a great time. Mary is enjoying mother hood:)...I heard her on the phone singing Maddie the hokie pokie (is that spelled right?)and Maddie was loving it. We will be spending a day at the beach and taking the dogs out so I will make sure and get some updated pics up. Maddie is up to 22 inches and almost 12 pounds already.

My new job is going very well. It's busy now because I'm learning on the go but I would rather do this then my last gig any day. There is no doubt in my new position that I am helping to make a difference in many students lives. Although I'm still waiting for Mary to get through grad school, get a job and make the big bucks so I can retire at 35 and be a stay at home dad.

We are looking to move to Jacksonville in the next 2 months and will probaly rent out our house, while we rent in Jacksonville. There's alot more to do in Jacksonville and it's closer to Disney. My new company has an apartment for us in the mean time if we need it while we tyransition from Pensacola.

That's about all for now...Go Browns, Go Indians, Go Buckeyes and now I don't have to fake it any longer...Fuck the Gators...pardon my profanity but it's a true indication of my feelings on that subject.
