Christmas Newsletter 2012

The holidays are here

And the Johnsons wrote to say,

We’re filled with festive cheer

And we’re sending some your way!

The New Year rolled in peacefully.

We enjoyed the mild weather.

Jeremy continued his intern time

Of learning and growing together.

Micah was in afternoon 4K.

We adored his teacher to no end.

And Liliana went to school too,

To learn how to be a good friend.

Our family had quite the spring!

Jeremy needed a hernia repair.

Liliana needed surgery too,

Only hers was for dental care.

Our summer highlight was visiting family.

All of our loved ones were in attendance!

We had a blast playing out on the lake

And celebrating our nation’s independence!

End of July meant moving

From Beloit back to seminary.

You’d think we’d be pros at this by now,

But it felt to be quite the contrary.

This fall brought with lots of changes!

Liliana started full time preschool.

She attends at our YMCA,

Loves the writing center and swimming pool!

Micah started Kindergarten this year.

We can’t believe how big he is!

Learning to read has been so exciting,

And he’s a totally rockin’ math whiz!

The biggest change in our family dynamic

Is Sandy has gone back to work.

She’s loving her job as a preschool para,

Even if our home is now sometimes bizerk! 

Jeremy’s finishing up his coursework,

Completing his senior year of seminary.

We go through the assignment process soon

And will get our synod in late February.

We hope to return to Minnesota,

But it’s up to the Holy Spirit.

If you feel like saying a prayer for us,

We’re sure God would love to hear it.  ;-)

That wraps up things on our end,

But we’d love to hear how life is for you.

Can’t wait to catch up with ya’ll sometime

And find out what’s exciting and new!

Until we see you that next time,

We’re wishing you and your loved ones the best!

Happy Holidays dear friends and family!

We pray that your New Year is blessed!

Love,

Jeremy, Sandy, Micah, Liliana
and Rex
