Grandma and Popop will really be missed when they leave this week. They have helped with so many things including kids, dinner, house, garden, canning and good company. We appreciate all they do..

Kaylee was not happy to take an easter picture before church. The boys were happy to wear new ties.

Happy Easter

Garrett and Kaylee play happy some of the time. It depends on Kaylee's mood and she was in a great mood this day. They love playing outside.

Our Town had an Easter Egg Hunt put on by the local churches. It was very well organized and the kids had alot of fun. We will look forward to it again next year.

Kaylee entertaining Garrett with books and toys

Anna is growing each day.

Getting ready for Easter

Family finally got to come home and visit Anna

Kaylee is such a big sister. She loves Anna and wants to hold and feed her all the time.

Anna is happy and still really sleepy.

Brent was excited for the picture to show his friends. Other than that, not much has change for him.

Garrett gives lots of love. Anna is not quite sure what to do with all of his rough kisses

Anna and I had some time today so we took some pictures. Kaylee wanted to see her in a bow.

She looks alot like Garrett.

She has slept most of the day today so I expect tonight to be exciting, but she is really cute when she is awake.

She is growing each day which is great. We are doing well.

Anna Made it home. She was 5 pounds 14 ounces when we left the hospital. She was alot more alert and awake today. She ate very often and is not a fan of being put down. The nurses said she was great for them in the nursery because they all took turns holding her all night. I guess we will see how tonight goes. I tried to take lots of pictures and post them because most of my family still has not seen or held her. My sisters children both have the flu we are guessing.

It was really hard to come home to a quiet house. I had to hold back the tears. Ben dropped me off and I sent him to Cleveland to help my mom. Anna and I stayed plenty busy, but we will be so happy when everyone can come home.

She likes the pacifier

Her eyes were open alot more today. We think she really resembles Garrett and Kaylee.

Everyone has commented on her squeaky cry.

This is a big yawn before a big cry.

She hates baths and getting dressed. She is going to have to get use to getting dressed alot because I know once her big sister gets a hold of her they will be changing clothes all day.

Ben has been a trooper helping out everywhere.

Anna's had a great day. She is eating very well and is so pleasant. She doesn't mind being put down and is happy being held. She is so tiny and has such a small little cry.

My kids finally got to come and visit today. We were so thrilled they were feeling better. They have been off and on all week but were doing better so they came and put Anna in the nursery when they got here. Garrett was disappointed that Anna didn't have toys to play with. He was very disappointed with the nursery here at the hospital.

Garrett was so happy to see me. He just kept hugging me and kissing me.

Brent was fascinated with the TV and remote. I know it is shocking....

During the visit, Kaylee started a fever and then so did Garrett. Mom and Ben took them to after care and they all have the flu. We are so sad. My mom is overloaded with sick kids and they feel terrible. The doctor said they have to leave until the fevers are gone. So we go home tomorrow to an empty house, Ben will drop me off and head to my moms. He will go back and forth to help with meds, dinner and bed time until their fevers are gone. My dad is still in OKC until Sunday so that will help when he comes home, but it has been such a crazy unpredictable week. Leave it to the Johansens to get sick at such a perfect time........ I know this will only last a short time and we will all be together soon. We just pray our little Anna doesn't get sick.

She is a little jaundice so they will continue to check for that before we leave.

Anna Beth was born today at 6 pounds 3 ounces and 19 inches long. She is doing well and so is Alicia.

We were so happy to see the Southwards today.

Our poor family that was too sick to stay and hold the baby. They took a quick picture and then had to leave. We hope everyone is feeling better tomorrow.
