I guess I should update this blog and announce that Andrew Ryan Collins was born on Feb. 4th. He was 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 20" long. He is doing great and his big brother is so happy he is here. (for now anyway) Here are a couple pictures of our new little man!

It's a...

BOY! Another boy for the Collins' house. I am really excited, although a girl would have been pretty exciting, I am so happy for Sam to have a little brother to grow up with. I really couldn't be happier, everything looked great on the ultrasound. I guess my life will be alot of soccer games and other sports, but I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything.

What was I thinking?

I obviously wasn 't thinking when I named this blog a long time ago. I guess since I had just had a baby having another was def. not on my mind. But technically, I should change the name to the Collins 4!!! Baby #2 is due the end of January. We will actually find out the sex of the baby this Thursday and I am very excited. It's amazing how fast things are flying by!
Other than that, we have had a great summer. We went to the beach twice and had a great time. Sam is def. a beach boy. He is happy playing in the sand all day taking a nap and going right back out. He actually talks about the beach every day and loves to look at the pictures we took. He is such a good little guy and makes us laugh all the time. I am so thankful for him. Hopefully, I will be a little better at updating. I will def. update on Thursday to let you all know Boy or Girl!!!!!

My Little Soccer Player

Z's parents spent 3 weeks in Ireland recently. When they returned, they had this cute little soccer uniform for sam. Zac can't wait until Sam gets old enough to play soccer with him. He is also holding out that he will be left handed baseball pitcher. :)

How can you have a bad day with this little guy around?

Romp & Roll

Yesterday I took Sam to Romp & Roll for open gym time. He had a lot of fun and really tired himself out.

His first stop was the trampoline.

He had no fear of climbing on everything.

I got a work out too...he wanted to keep swinging on this but he couldn't hold on alone.
