1st Christmas as the Atkins Family

6 months married and more in love than ever. We spent this Christmas with Daniels family in Georgia. It's always so nice to be with his family, his parents are just as sweet as can be, brother Christopher is maturing by the minute, and his Grandparents are as welcoming as any one could be. I just love them all.

This Christmas we are expecting our first baby together. We were lucky enough to have had an ultrasound the day before we left and found out we are having a BOY! Christmas Eve was a flurry of food and presents. We gathered together in the living room and his dad David passed out the presents and the wrapping paper started flying. They were so cute and bought the baby some presents as well. This picture shows the little tee shirt that David had spotted and couldn't pass up for the baby. Go Bulldogs!

We are very sad to be leaving here tomorrow for the next three years. Our journey is taking us far away from our families, but we are looking forward to welcoming this little baby boy into our little family. Family is the greatest gift of all, and we thank the Lord for ours.
