Weekend recap



Apparently this is the only picture I took this weekend (palm to face). It was an eventful one! Friday we had Hannah’s baby shower. Poppy was gifted a lot of cute clothes, and we had fun playing embarrassing baby shower games. Then we stayed up late playing games and planning trips together. Saturday we went to Marshall’s baptism at noon. Cora and Ruby have a talk about baptism. They did great! We made an analogy about life being like cotton candy, sweet and fun, but sometimes it can be messy and sticky. Good thing we have the sacrament to act like baby wipes and help us clean up week after week. After the baptism we went to a church and had pizza/hung out. Then we went to Danis house and bought R&R barbecue. Again we hung out all evening. Then today we went to church. Mom and I subbed for the CTR 4 class, which happens to be Ruby and Cora’s class, and then we went to Danis house. We had lunch and  played games, then made dinner and spent more time together. It’s been a family packed weekend, which is normal for when my mom is in town. Cora and Ruby are exhausted after several late nights in a row. We still have one more day of fun though!

First Day of Kindergarten

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

To Kathy

Image
Last Tuesday we were having a Johnson family conference call when Scott told us that Kathy's health was really going downhill and that he thinks we need to be there soon. We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time
