A New Addition

So sorry to have been out of commission most of this holiday blogging season! I promise I have a good reason – my biggest DIY project of the year is finally complete!

On December 27th we welcomed the newest addition to our family. He has been an incredible blessing and I am so thrilled to finally bring him home to our little nest.

His big brother is absolutely enamored with him which is a huge relief for me. I was nervous that he would be one of those children who is rough and frustrated that they have to deal with a little one in the house. Most of the time he ignores his little brother, but he does like to check on him occasionally and he likes to entertain him when he’s crying. It’s really adorable and I’m excited to see how their relationship will grow through the years.

Those of you who follow @AtkinsonDrive on Instagram have already seen a bunch of photos of this little guy, but bear with me … as I’ll be posting many many more!

You may or may not have noticed that I don’t really mention names while blogging, I always refer to my oldest son as little man or something of the sort…but I have come to realize that blogging will become incredibly confusing if I don’t use names. And seeing as everyone in our family has the same initials, I can’t even go that route! So…without further ado…

So I hope that explains a bit and gets me some sort of pass for not being more active with projects/recipes/etc.
There are a few finishing touches that need to be made to the nursery and as soon as that is done I will snap pictures and give you guys all the details! *eek* SO excited!
(if you follow on Instagram you’ve already seen a few sneak peeks there…)

I hope all of you had a fantastic holiday season!
