Porter Benjamin Atkins





































At the end of April I was able to go out to Twin Falls to visit Melissa's family. She had her new baby, Porter Benjamin Atkins, on April 11. He is so adorable!!! I loved it. She had him about 3 weeks early. She actually was beginning to go into labor 6 weeks early, which is when she had Will. Luckily, they were able to to hold it off for a little while. He did have to go to the NICU, but not for very long. I had so much fun with the kids. I also went to Shoshone Falls, which is about 10 minutes away from their house. It is beautiful!!! It is actually taller than Niagra Falls, but not as big across. It is huge in the spring because of the snow melting from the mountains. I have been before in the fall, but was not impressed. When I saw it this time though, it was awesome! I couldn't get very good pictures because it was so misty there! I got soaked--not from rain, but from the mist that comes up. It was so good to take a little mini vacation.

He's a cutie and so small! It was so great to see you....did you have Troy look into the College of Southern Idaho's nursing program? It would be beyond awesome to have you guys closer!!!! Those are some great pictures of Shoshone Falls.

Ok - you are in trouble. We had no idea that you came to Twin Falls for a visit. We would have loved to have seen you. :( We do look forward to seeing you in GA soon, though. :)

Kristina, Kristina. You did not the facts quite straight--he was actually trying to come at 32 weeks! That's earlier than Will was. That makes it sound a little more exciting.
