10.0?

It is obvious that our blog will be centered around either our kid or our dog and, seeing as our kid is not here yet, it is time for Stella to shine. She has settled into her new home and now training for the 2012 Olympics. We hope to have her doing the triple somersault soon. Greg and Debbie had the 'dog whisperer' around at the weekend to psychoanalyze the pack. She concluded that one was spoiled, one was old, one was shy and the other needed a heavy dose of Prozac .... she is coming back in a couple of weeks to analyze the dogs.

London 2012?

Not much baby news other than our discovery that he has more clothes than we do. Given his predicted size he will probably grow into (and out of) them pretty quickly. Kristy has been doing great job sorting all the stuff out.

How much stuff does a little person need?

We made it!

We had a great trip and considering we drove 1500 miles with a 7 month pregnant woman and hyperactive dog, we were happy to arrive safely in Bakersfield. The only exception was my miscalculation on the amount of gas/petrol we had left and ending up in the middle of the 105F desert with the needle dangerously below empty. I would like to say that I managed to comfort my pregnant wife by telling her that everything would be fine but that was sadly not the case. Fortunately, a mirage appeared in the middle of my panic attack and I practically kissed the $5.79/gallon sign (for the record, I'm still blaming the sat nav).

I'm not sure that is has sunk in for either of us that we are actually living here as it still feels like we are just visiting. Make the most of the posts as it might be quiet until the baby is here here! Thanks to the two of you who voted for 'Barry' ... was it Charlie and Reece by any chance ?????

Travelling is tiring
Make yourself at home

Watching the world go by
Enough alreadyLife is good
When did we arrive in Europe?

Moving Day!

Welcome to our first blog! Seeing as it is good to document important

stages in life, we thought moving house (Today), starting a new job (Monday) and having a baby (Sometime in October) deserved a blog. Please feel free to vote on the left for a name (however, we may totally ignore your advice). If you don't know, 'Barry' was the label given to the little one by our 8 and 4 yr old nephews. Being raised a Johnson normally involves the naming of your car, i.e. 'Sydney the silver Volvo', 'Marvin the Mazda' .... you get the idea. They just decided to take it one step further with 'Barry the baby'. I will also have to stop referring to him as 'the little one' as Kristy had a scan last Tuesday and they estimated he weighed 4.5 lbs ... that ment little to me until they said the average at 29 weeks was 2.5 lbs! Another Johnson trait that Kristy was unaware of when she married me. Hopefully we will be updating this blog as often as possible and keep you all up to date with the move/job/baby.
