Emily has been writing a little bit over on her page.  Click on over and take a look and maybe send her a quick note to let her know somebody's out there reading!  And here's a few pics of my sweet 16 year old from the past few months.

While we've all had our ups and downs while living in the DR, Emily has perhaps had the hardest time.  It's not easy being a teenager.  Period.  But making new friends in a different culture in  a different language has been pretty tough.  As parents it can be equally as tough to remeber that God is teaching us and growing us ALL THE TIME, and usually through the hard things we learn and grow the most.  We hope that the end result will be maturity, wisdom, and compassion.

Rather, speaking the TRUTH in LOVE, we are to GROW UP in every way into him who is the head, into CHRIST.   ephesians.4:15

    Our current Atkinson Adventure (and we think that everyone should be on an adventure) has brought us to Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic.  Read more about it HERE.

    Because we desire to:
    Accept Responsibility
    Reject Passivity
    Lead Courageously
    Invest Eternally
    in 2010 we began a new adventure with
    Investing Your Talents.
    Read more about it here.
