oh, baby

It's been nearly a month since this new baby was born. Sorry for the neglect, sweetie. I'm still not sure how I'd like to use this forum; thus, the stalling. Plus, most people just want to see pictures, not read my rants, and our dial up internet won't accomodate uploading or downloading anything!
Events of note have been amazing family times. Isn't that what's so special about this time of year? We had such a fun Thanksgiving with lots of Johnsons, friends and relations that I didn't want it to end. Mom in her gentle way just went ahead and held a family reunion at her house, while I wasted time stressing about finding a good date for it. So we did the annual football game and other traditions and just spent good ol' time together! Plus, Jason & I made a new friend in Kendrick Rozelle.
Then last week we had yet another Johnson "immediate" family dinner with presents and verses and drama and all. Dad & Philip & Andrew have some acting talent I hope they won't waste. That was a special dinner because we said g'bye to Jon & Denielle for their permanent move to Brazil. I would just like to say that I love my family, and I love that we are close without being "co-dependant."
Today, in 10 degree Farenheit weather all 7 of us Trimbles went Christmas Caroling in the neighborhood. It was the kids' idea; they'd been practicing some carols; they had jingle bells. One lady said she's never had anyone carol for her before, and she absolutely would not say "Christmas." She asked if the kids were excited about the holidays coming up. Aiden said, "There's only 9 more days." She said, "Nine more days until the holiday!" We smiled and visited and said "Merry Christmas."
