I love these little girl. She makes my day when she is like that. Mady is so funny I just love seeing her like that. She is a little pink princess.

Happy Smiles

I love these pictures of the boys. They look so happy. You two make me smile alot.

Your Love Never Gives Up

We have been signing these song for a couple of weeks in our church and I just love every word. It is so encouraging to hear that "your love never gives up Lord and it never runs out on me". Thank you for giving your son Jesus for me and others. I know I don't deserve it but you still give it and love us.

Andrew has changed so much...

 

Andrew is here waiting to get a bath. When Andrew went into the bathroom he undressed himself and was waiting for someone to give him a bath. He knows so much now! There is a way he tells us when he wants to go outside, when he is hungry and more. He has changed so much since he has been here and I am so thankful for that. Thank you Jesus for bringing him into my life! I pray that there will be more happy days to come.

Happy Birthday Mom and Andrew!!

 Momma and her son Andrew

 I love their smiles. If you look at Andrew you can se his smile

 Listening the birthday song

 I just love these 4 pictures of Andrew. It was taking today in our back yard.

 

Today is my Mom's and Andrew's Birthday. I am so thankful to be here and to celebrate their b-day's. Mom you have been a blessing to me. You are the best Mom I could ever have. I am so thankful that God brought you in to my life. I hope you had a good day. Thank you for all you did and do. Happy Birthday and I love you.

 Andrew turned 8 years old 8 I can not believe. He has changed so much and I am so thankful. Andrew you have changed my life and I am so thankful for that. I know you are here in this world for a reason and I know God will you use it. Thank you for being my little brother. Happy Birthday and I love you.

They will have 2 more :)

 
Now there are 5 Johnsons but soon there will be 7.  My sister Mary Kate and her husband Keith are in the process of adopting two more beautiful children from Ghana. I am so excited to see their journey. I know they will appreciate all your prayers through this process.
