Edward's 2014

She was pretty unhappy most of the morning.  Until she got an apple cider donut.

He found this itty-bitty one and was so excited..."this one is perfect for norah!"

Miss cranky-pants wouldn't sit anywhere but behind the basket.

And of course we had to make some apple pie!

AWANA 2014

AWANA started tonight!  This year, both Kris and I are serving (I'm still in Puggles and Kris is in Kinder) so it's a Johnson Family event every Wednesday night....even Norah gets to go this year.

So, here are our AWANA "clubbers" for the 2014-2015 school year.  Caleb is in his last year (sniff sniff) of Sparks, and he super pumped to start on Book 3.  Meredith is in her 1st year of Sparks after 2 years as a Cubby....she is super pumped to be a "big kid" like her big brother.  Shane is in his last year of Puggles (good thing because his shirt is getting pretty snug) and I am already lamenting the fact that I only have one more year to call him my "Snuggle Puggle" or our "Puggle Monster". And sweet Norah girl gets to be loved on by some amazing and caring nursery teachers every Wednesday night.

These pictures make me chuckle.

First Soccer Games of the Season...

 Both the big kids' soccer seasons are underway.  This is the first soccer experience for both of them (aside from Caleb's park district class at age 3).  Although many of the players on their teams have more experience and understanding of the game, these two are working just as hard.  I am so proud of them for doing their best, and for being teachable.
