Valentine Surprises [rollover picture] - Post for February 14, 2010

Ok, here's another rollover picture for you. Rollover your mouse to see my reaction when my wife told me . . . just kidding! Don't worry, I haven't been holding back information. I just found out less than an hour ago in a Valentine card from my wife. According to the instructions on the package for the test if there is even a faint second red line, we are expecting baby Sykes #4. Now for a few specific instructions for all of those involved:

1. Mom, if you are viewing our blog before church shame on you . . . just kidding. We are telling Sarah's family tomorrow at lunch and you will be getting a phone call at the same time! I posted this in hopes that Becca would be able to find out at the same approximate time as everyone else.
   
2. Becca, if you are looking at this before church . . . shame on you too . . . just kidding. If you talk to mom please don't tell her until we have a chance to call her this Sunday afternoon.
3. Anyone else reading our blog . . . please wait till after lunch on Valentines day before sharing the news with anyone to give us a chance to share the good news with both sets of parents. We posted it on the blog to give my family in Africa an opportunity to share in the surprise at approximately the same time as everyone else.

Am I excited . . . YES! Am I freaked out . . . YES! Do I live in a single wide trailer . . . YES! Have I already seen God take care of us in so many ways . . . YES! We will be updating you on our journey all the way to October.
