28 Days till March 17th.

My best man, fraternity brother, former roommate and all around great human being, Paul "Z" Zlatniski, has an interesting baby name suggestion: George Strait Johnson. I guess we could nickname him "The Fireman".

Heard around the halls of Collins Elementary from a second grade student: "Hey Mrs. Johnson! How's that baby coming along?"

Aunt Kelly arrived in town today for Sunday's baby shower. We're all anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Johnson. Kelly says"As long as it doesn't arrive before Sunday's shower".

On a sad note, today was a very tough day for the entire family. For those who don't know, my mom and soon-to-be first-time grandmother, Barbara Johnson, has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer which has spread to her liver. Today she met with an oncologist and learned that this form of cancer is currently incurable. She has made the tough and courageous choice to forgo traditional chemotherapy in order to find a suitable clinical trial in the hope of finding a cure. If you read this please say a prayer for Barbara. Thank you for your support.
