Me, my son Thomas, family, and Friends




















































































































































































































































































































































































































































Just a few pix of me, my son, brother and his family, my dad, and my best friend and my God daughter who is now 3 she is such a doll. With a little history of my life with Thomas. First one more to come. I have a twin brother named Chris. Chris, his wonderful wife Raina, and their amazing 7 year old son Seth (cool name hu!) live in Michigan. I was married for seven wonderful years, divorced in 2007 (very hard day for me). We caught each others eyes at a small party while attending Northern Illinois University. Our third year into our marriage we had a wonderful baby boy we named Thomas Edward Johnson (I hope he sticks with that name, does he chose to use a nickname I'd rather it be Tom than Tommy. Of course that will be his choice to make). When he was born it was the happiest day of my life by far. The growing up days were also joyful. Seeing him take his first crawl, first steps, his first word (daddy:) , ect.... I was adopted around 1975, born sometime in 1973 birth date unknown. I have a wonderful father (no mother figure in my life until I go married, my ex-wife mom is out standing mother and grandmother) that has been a BIG support of mine as I am having a hard time with the divorce for the past two years due to not being able to see Thomas as much as I did when I was married. He is now 5 years old and I see him two days a week. We have a lot of the same interest in things. We both love land and ocean animal, keeping the environment clean, spending time with each other, reading to him and him reading to me. I think he just has an outstanding memory as he can remember a small book word for word. He is in kindergarten now at a christian based school. He is enrolled in gymnastics now and loves it. He also is enrolled in soccer every year, and will be starting baseball (My favorite sport) I hope it will be his as well. Last week he lost his first tooth. He called me and left a message on my cell phone. The message was so adorable. I wish I had been there when it happened. He had to right a note to the tooth fairy because he swallowed his tooth by mistake, regardless he was so excited and so was I.
God Bless You All
