60% of the Atkins family is in Minnesota

Thomas, Helen, and I arrived at our house at approximately 11 pm on 12/30. This was approximately 27 hours door to door. Much faster trip than the other way. We're hoping that Barbie will same the same with Julia. We only lost one luggage on the trip, but we have hope that we will get it tomorrow. It mostly has souvenirs and dirty clothes...so it's not a great loss as of yet.

We called Barbie and Julia as soon as we got home. It was good to hear their voices and we are confident that they will be able to make it well. We (at least I) already miss them terribly and can't wait to have them here with us.

I think my mom is coming on 12/31, but I'm not sure. I'll have to call her tomorrow and see!

Now we are old news...Barbie and Julia are the stars of the program and I won't have much to say except for what was on sale at Cub, and most of you get the ad already. We'll keep you posted as best we can.

Take care,
Doug, Thomas, and Helen

I'm glad you got there safely, Doug. Mom should be arriving on the 31st. Her trip should be relatively easy as Angie and I got her and dad a GPS for Christmas. She said it worked like a dream getting her to Angie's yesterday.

Nothing new here to report as well. Just the same day to day as usual. Welcome home to the monotony of living in America! We pray a speedy return home for your other girls.

Love,
Cindy
