Full Term!

We've finally reached 37 weeks, which is apparently full term. Yes!! I'm doing much better with the weight gain the past few weeks, probably because I've been eating my apples with caramel and my carrots with cake. 


I'm not entirely sure how I feel posting a bare belly photo, so you only get black and white. Trust me, it's still a little creepy to me, too.


Adam was feeling left out of all the photo fun, so sometimes we like to switch up the subjects.


Even Pickles gets in on the action.
Fall is on the way, especially this weekend. I'm still debating whether to completely decorate for Halloween and buy candy. There's a good chance we won't be home to pass out treats, and then we'd just have to eat bags of bulk candy ourselves. Hard to decide...


Today was so beautiful that we finally worked up the courage to take TJ (in memory) to his favorite park. We previously planted a tree for him, sprinkled his ashes on the farm, and made a space on the shelf to hold his remains, but this park was his (and our) absolute favorite. We could hardly stand to go back after he passed. But it was time. 








The sun came out when we got to the prairie, and we could hear the chickadees singing. I know people think they call fee-bee, fee-bee, but we always heard tee-jay, tee-jay. It's a bittersweet reminder of our buddy, but I'm glad for it.





This was our final walk with TJ. 

He was a very, very good dog.

TJ knows how much he was loved but knows that the little tike will again make your home complete. We are so excited for the new Johnson addition. Mom B

My sentiments exactly. Mom couldn't have said it better. I don't know how animals, pets know, but he knew it was time. Most dittos, dad
