Atkin Family: Stewart's blessing 6/17/2012

Top Things We Miss Most From Germany!!!

So we are very happy to be home again but there are a few things that we miss from our stay in Germany. There is a saying that says something like once you have crossed the Atlantic Ocean you will never be completely at home again. We love it here but we also loved our stay there, mostly because of the wonderful friends we made there but also because of the wonderful experiences we had that aren't likely to be re experienced anytime soon. So our list of the things we miss the most. The food items just aren't as good here anymore or can't be found here.
1-Friends
2-Castles
3-Yogurt
4-Cheeses
5-Musli (granola cereal with numerous types of yummy variations)
6-Wurst (a wide variety of sausages)
7- New Experiences and Scenery that are nothing like we have at home. Ex.-Train travel, GREENness everywhere, immersion in a different language and culture.

Stewart's blessing 6/17/2012

So it is kind of a challenge to find a blessing outfit to fit a three week old. Considering they are usually twice as big when their blessed. Even the preemie size didn't fit him very good. So we finally used a newborn size we had borrowed and just didn't put the jacket with it. I think he looks adorable though, but then again I am biased. :)

Four generation pics with his grandparents and great grandparents. Elise had 6 great grandparents when she was born and Stewart has 4 great grandparents. They are very lucky!
