Shannon’s Baby Shower

Saturday Dagny and I went to Shannon’s Baby Shower. It was so nice seeing Shannon and Jeremy again. Last year we were down in PA for their wedding and this August they are going to be celebrating the arrival of their son, Logan. We are so excited for Dagny to have another little friend. Knowing Shannon and Jeremy, Logan is going to be an amazing little boy.

Dagny trying to sneak in or out of the photo… hmmm… not sure.

I was so proud of Little Miss D. She didn’t have a nap and I was so scared she would not be… well, lets put it this way, on her best behavior. But, yet again she amazed me. Not only was she a very good little girl, but got right into the mix with the children. I just love this photo of some of the girls playing together.

While the ladies were gathering, the men went golfing.

It was so nice to see our friends that we wished lived closer. Hopefully, we will see them again in a few weeks if all things work out.

Lilac Festival 2010

We had a wonderful weekend, which we ended by heading to the Lilac Festival late Sunday afternoon. I was quite surprised at how many people were still there. I really expected a smaller crowd, since I don’t like crowds and avoid them with all my might hence why we went so late in the afternoon. But, that’s what I get for going to a festival. Oh well we still had a good time. In fact, Dagny had her first pony ride. So, we started the weekend on a plastic horse going around and around and ended on a real live pony going round and round.

Here she is, check out that grin. The pony’s name is Cupcake, which is just fitting for some reason.

Afterward we decided to leave the festival part and walk around the park. One of our favorite parts of the park is the The Poet’s Garden. Here is Dagny examining the height of one of the trees in the garden.

As we were walking Dagny and I thought we saw Little Bear behind one of the trees. Unfortunately, when we got to the tree he wasn’t there. Bummer.

Luckily, Dagny was just as happy to be held by Craig.

Until next year.

Highland Park

I am feeling tons better and with that I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take Dagny for a walk through Highland Park. My Mom was kind enough to join us, which was a great help with a toddler. Dagny did pretty good up until we started going upward on the path, she pretty much wanted nothing to do with that, so of course she wanted to be carried. I didn’t even bother bringing her stroller, because she never really liked sitting in it. It’s not worth the production of trying to get her into it. What’s wrong with my child?! How could she not like sitting and being pushed around?! Anyways, besides the tail end of the walk, we really had a fun time. She enjoyed smelling the lilacs and examining all the different types of flowers.

I am looking forward to going back for the festival with Craig in tow.

Dagny’s New Ride

Dagny, the youngest Johnson, got her first sweet little coupe.

sweet new ride

Every time I drop and pick her up from daycare she points to the “cars” in the playground and tells which one she likes to ride. We like to think we don’t spoil her even thou it can be hard with an only child. To be fair she doesn’t have a ridiculous amount of toys, but I just couldn’t resist getting this for her. She has been doing so good with the transition of the move, she deserved a little treat.

Here is Dagny’s reaction.

There was also a lot of this going on. She loved pushing it with Craig.

Since our garage is currently storing other things besides the cars, we park the cars outside for now.
