Finally....

Today, I did something that surprised me. I was able to be thankful for the past year. I am thankful for what I have learned. Is it forgiveness I am feeling? Am I feeling sorry for who they are--because they have not learned the important things I have learned? I pity them for who they are and what they are...for they are the same people as they have always been and they are living the same day to day rut.

I know this:
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

Thank you for making my life so very miserable, that I changed it. I am much better in my new life. I am a better person than any of you are and I am so incredibly happy. And guess what! You will never have what I have, ever! So thank you.

Dash is one day old! More grandma moments!

Grandma Cindy and Great-Grandma Mary.
Ellie's mom and grandma. Grandma Mary is 82!

Grandpa Ron...loving every minute of it.


Ellie has no more belly!

Check out that bottom lip being sad.

This is me holding Dash

Here's our sweetie! Wonder who he looks like?


These are some pictures from yesterday, after we had slept for a while, showered and cleaned up.

He is here! May 30, 2009

Our newest blessing has arrived! What a fun, fun day.
Friday night, Ellie was having contractions 5 or 7 minutes apart.
They went to the hospital that night, things progressed slowly, but
Ellie did so incredible.
After a long day and long night of labor, Dash Camron Johnston
was born on Saturday morning. He weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz and is 21
inches long. The amazing thing is that he was 3 weeks early.
Ellie asked me to be in the room for delivery. Wow! Thank you Ellie
for giving me one of the most amazing experiences of my lifetime.
I will never forget the joy I felt the moment he was delivered.
You and Brandee are my heroes! Thank you both for blessing us with
grandbabies!

This is the happy dad! You could not wipe the smile off his face!
