"Barb and I couldn’t be happier to welcome Aureja into our family,” Johnson said. “We have had a lot of boys in our family so it will be nice for Barb to have some more girls around.”

The newest member of the Johnson family was born to the Senator's eldest son, Brooks Johnson, and his wife, Naida Snipas Johnson. Brooks is in the National Guard in Massachussets following Army service in Bosnia, Kosovo, South Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This is their second child.

Brooks and Naida also have a son, Arijus, and Senator Johnson’s other son, Brendan, and his wife Jana Beddow Johnson, have four children: Trualem, Peneal, Sutton and Cooper.
