Three Reasons for My Lack of Blogging

First, Isaiah Sean Crispin, born May 15, 2010.  He is a cool little dude and our fourth child (now 6, 4, 2, and 1 month!), so we have been a busy Crispin crew in transition.  What a great transition it is though.  I praise the Lord for it.

Second, my annual landscaping vacation.  I am serious about that.  Each year, after my season finishes, I head back to our home in NJ for a few weeks of outside work.  And it is a joy to my heart.  Another precious gift from the Lord.  Below is a picture of me putting a roof on the kids’ swing set.  I thankfully had help from my Dad, but did do most of the work.  In fact, there were a few days where I literally spent the entire day outside.  I was so immersed in my outside tasks that I didn’t come in (though I did stop for lunch outside with the family and was sure to play a few games with the kids as a break).  No time for blogging when you need to spread some mulch or complete the swing set.

Third, the entire Crispin Crew made the move up to State College, PA and I began my off-season training.  I couldn’t find any picture that adequately conveyed that point, but oh well.  We purchased our home in SC last summer, but didn’t fully get settled in, so we have enjoyed getting settled.  And I have really enjoyed getting back to work.  Both Erin and I love it up here in State College.

I am sure I could come up with a few more excuses, but those are the primary ones to blame.  No doubt, I have thought about blogging a ton, but with all the different things I had to do, it didn’t climb up the priority list.  We’ll see how it goes from here.
