Wow, I really create vacuum at this...

(My mom always told me to never say "sucks". She would make my brothers and I say "creates vacuum" instead. The point to that rule, I think was that it was way uncool to say "creates vacuum" so we just wouldn't say anything at all.)

My post today is about how truly terrible my blog is. It has been 5 1/2 months since my last post! I will not give up however. My purpose is true!

So the meat of my post is that Christy and I are expecting our fourth child in August! This is not necessarily planned but not much of our lives are. Christy calls our approach to life "granola" but I prefer to call it "all-natural-organic-with-no-preservatives-added". The high fructose corn-syrup of modern family planning is just too much for our brains to handle. We are however ending our book series, "Spawn d'Collins" after this last installment. The first three books have been funny, horrifying, and emotionally touching all at the same time but the word processor will be permanently "shut-down" upon the safe arrival of the final copy of book 4 from the Publisher. (I could get a little more graphic but I do want people to keep reading.)

I have to admit that the idea of another little person added to the brood made me feel very tired at first. I am now finding myself very excited about meeting the new one and getting him/her into the flow of our strange but loving little family. Christy is doing better with the news as well. Although she has shared concerns about all of her body being in tact after the blessed event occurs. I can't say that I blame her. After this is all over she will have been pregnant for 72% of the past five years. I married a truly incredible woman.

Well, that's all for now. I leave you now with these thoughts,

"Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blesssed is the man whose quiver is full of them." -Solomon
