Our latest addition

I just wanted to put in a real quick note to let you all know that Jason and I have welcomed Aurora Vilate Johnson to our family.

She was born on October 1st at 5:10 pm. They induced me that after noon and I was in labor for about 4 hours before she was born.

Jason was able to be here for her birth and got to spend 10 great days with us.

We blessed her on Conference Sunday because Jason left the following Saturday. We had immediate family and some grandparents there since she was only 4 days old and we didn't want to risk her getting sick.

We will be sticking around for the next few weeks and are looking forward to getting to see Richard come home from his mission. We take off for Grenada on November 11th.

A Little Geneology, Anyone?

I found this interesting web page that had some information about Grandma's mother, Emily Jane Morgan. Click here for the link. It was really neat to read about what life was like for her. I loved seeing the picture of her that is posted on the website - she has a beautiful smile. It was humbling for me to read about how she and George drove all the way from Idaho to come to the Salt Lake Temple to be married. What faithful people! Wow!
Reading about some of my ancestors got me thinking. I wish I knew more about them. Then, I started thinking that I really don't know all that much about my family that is with me today. What if we used this blog to spotlight Johnson clan members? I would love some input about how you think we can best use this little corner of the world wide web. :) Please leave a comment and let's get this thing rolling!

I'm Taking Over..

Hey everybody, this is Stephanie. I think it would be really cool if we all could contribute to this blog, and since my mom is a little technologically challenged (I love you mom) - I am taking over the technical part of this blog. If you are reading this, I need you to email your info to me at stufanu@gmail.com. Thanks!
