The White Stuff

The only way to really describe winter 2013-2014 is a lot of snow. It started off strong in December and just never seemed to go away. We got a ton of snow in mid-December and decided to take Andrew outside and see what he thought about it. He wasn't thrilled. He got used to it as the season wore on (he didn't really have a choice as there was always snow on the ground), but I wouldn't say he ever really enjoyed playing in the snow.




Fight! Fight! Rah! Team Fight! Victory for MSU!

Early December 2013

As you all know...the Johnson household bleeds green and white. The 2013 football season was a pretty impressive one for MSU. Chris's buddy Dave was able to get tickets to the Big Ten Championship game in Indy and off they went one weekend to see the game. Chris had probably been gone for about 30 minutes, and all of a sudden, Andrew starts puking. Perfect! Home alone and just got thrown up on. So we both go into the bath, get out, dry off, get dressed, and he pukes again. Start the process over. This continued from about 6:30-11:30. Lots of baths, lots of laundry, and one sleepy kid. I ended up sleeping on the floor of his room that night and he woke up the next morning feeling fine. Very tired, but no more puking. Phew!!

Meanwhile Chris was in Indy having a great time. MSU beat Ohio State and they were off to the Rose Bowl. Chris felt pretty bad when he got home, and he got to spend a nice Sunday with Andrew while I rested =). Andrew didn't show him much mercy either. I don't think Chris was feeling very well, so I imagine Andrew bouncing on his back was not helping!!



Late Oct/ Early November - Visiting Friends & WALKING

November was a month filled with visiting friends. Andrew is so blessed to have so many friends that are right around his age, so we had quite a few birthday parties to attend. If I remember correctly (this was over a year-ago) both Kinsley and Christians' parties were mid-October and Logan's party is around Halloween. It is so fun seeing him with all of his friends.

We also made a quick trip up to Traverse City to see the Mack's. Andrew and Myla have a great time playing together, and I can't wait to watch them grow up together!

It was around this time that Andrew discovered two new talents: (1) he can wave and (2) he can be much more mobile and started walking.
