Enjoying a special moment with my mom, just minutes before I walked down the aisle. I'm so thankful she got to be at my wedding.

The newlywed cabin in the woods of New Hampshire. We were sitting on that screened in porch overlooking the lake when we decided to pursue the path to parenthood.

I loved working at the day care while we waited to see if our next pregnancy would work out. Those babies kept me smiling.

The natural Johnson kids, as we moved into adulthood. It was nice to see each other every now and then, as we all went off in our own directions.

One of the great pictures of my mom and dad after she lost a lot of weight and became healthy. My foster sister Brenda enjoyed having them as grandparents to her beautiful daughter Jill.
