Well, I won't force you to read our blog. But I can tell you about us.
The Johnson Family is a blended family. G1 and G3 are from @faithfullove's first marriage. G2 and B1 are from @lordkodia's first marriage. Then B2 and B3 (@bensbrokenheart) are the two we have together.
We have been compared to The Brady Bunch
and the old Yours, Mine and Ours
movie with Lucile Ball. Honestly? I think they had it made.I cling to Isaiah 54:13 as each day passes. We have learned that not only common outside influences (such as school, community, church) but also uncommon influences affect our family. Since we have full custody of all the children, there are times that 2 of the children will be visiting the other parent and when they come home there are challenges. This is not to say the other parent is wrong, it is to say that EVERY home is different and this is just another challenge we face.
G1 - The oldest of all six. My creative girl. Gifted in the arts. Loves photography, drawing and plays the clarinet. She says free-spirited... I say very spirited.
G2 - The quiet one, most of the time. Loves to read, likes horses and is excited about our youth group.
G3 - Softball Diva. Also plays the alto and tenor sax. G3 also has asthma that we have to keep monitored. Praise God we have never been hospitalized or even to the ER for it.
B1 - A bundle of high-strung energy. He has minor sensory processing issues and we are working on it. Has a hard time keeping his "little" brothers in line as he isn't bigger than them at all. Very smart and loves to help out.
B2 - Momma's gentle giant. Started out as a toddler when he was born (11lbs 3oz and 25in) he's not stopped yet. Probably out of all the children he is the most sensitive. Loves school and loves his momma.
B3 - Our surprise only in timing. He has had a rough time in his young life. Born with CoArctation of the Aorta and a Bicuspid Aortic Valve with stenosis he has had to overcome much. Surgery for the CoA at a week of age that possibly caused mild hypotonia that we have had to do therapy for. Developing ketotic hypoglycemia that we found out from him being sick and going into seizure. God has carried him and us through it all. (Benji's Broken Heart)
