Johnson Family Adventures

We are happily settling into a new rhythm of life. Hudson is a perfect fit for our family :) He is calm and laid back - and sleeping like a CHAMP! Momma is SUPER excited about this...He is starting to be awake during the day more - big dark eyes looking around and taking in this new world he is now a part of. Savanna and Wyatt DOTE on him - they love to hold him and touch him and be near him. Hooray! Add caption Here are some one week pictures...

Hudson is so precious! He is laid back, handles the noise and activity of our house well (Thank you Jesus!), slept pretty much thru the night last night (WOW!!) and is so delightful. He was super sleepy his first 2 days, but is now thrilling us all with open eyes and lots of wiggles and squirms and coos :) Savanna DELIGHTS in him. I can't count the number of times she has said to me "Momma, I'm so glad Hudson is here." or "Mom, I love our baby" or "I'm so glad our baby is here!" She is a fabulous big sister and I will always have a great right hand in her. Wyatt also delights in our new boy. He LOVES to hold Hudson - until he cries, then he looks alarmed and says "I don't like him!" I explained to him that he likes HUDSON, just not the crying :) now he just says DONE! And shoves him back :) I feel really great! God is so good. Tired, of course, and really trying to take it easy, but relaxing and really ENJOYING this precious lit

We at the Johnson house LOVE ranch dressing. Unless it is balsamic vinegar and EVOO with a good does of garlic and some S&P, ranch is our #1 choice. So when I saw that Pioneer Woman has a homemade ranch dressing I got really  excited :) And not long before that our pastor's wife introduced us to HER homemade ranch...also amazing. Simple. Great on most everything.... So this is what is in PW's ranch - fresh dill, parsley, chives, buttermilk, sour cream, mayo, some Worcestershire, white vinegar, garlic, a touch of hot sauce....Oh my. We could eat it by the gallon. And it truly does go well on most everything!! :) Let me say, I'm NOT generally a fruit dessert person. Well, I used to not be. Now, thanks to PW, I could very easily be converted. She has a super simple blackberry cobbler recipe - I made it 1st with peaches b/c we had some super fresh ones and it won OUTSTANDING compliments from the family I tried it on. And didn't last more than one night. So then we
