Brian's a daddy!!

Jack Brian Collins was born on April 24th at 8:15 pm and weighed 8lbs 6oz. He was 21 3/4" long and his head was 14" around. Brian was able to be on the phone with Alyssa for several hours during her labor and talked with her on and off. He was able to hear Jack's first cries and talk with Aly while she had Jack on her tummy. God orchestrated all of this so wonderfully. He's truly a little gift from the Lord, healthy as can be!! Alyssa will be keeping everyone updated on her blog - link on the right side of the page.

To the Board...

Brian goes to the board in May to be promoted to Staff Sgt! They are busy at their current base getting ready to go to their area of assignment so we're not hearing much from him these days. Hopefully at the new base they will have wireless so communication is more frequent - especially as Jack's due date gets closer! 6 weeks left!

Brian and Alyssa are going to be parents!

Check out their blog at "...And baby makes three!" Aly has their story going over there so bookmark it and check back regularly.
