Surprising the Sillimans!!! Silli-Skyping!!!

We headed back from Marble Falls Sunday morning so we could surprise the Silliman family and make it to my Dad's to surprise the Baker's that afternoon.

We were very lucky that Bill and Triana were together in Lake Forest, and we sneakily convinced them to let us give them a Skype tour of the house so they could see all the changes we had made since we moved in.  This was really difficult because the whole time we had to pretend that nothing was going on except the house tour, but we were so anxious!!

To get ready for the call, we hung the backdrop of our announcement in the nursery and filled it full of pastel pink, blue, yellow, and white balloons.

After "touring" the outside and downstairs of the house, we took them upstairs to see the master and guest bedrooms, and I snuck into the nursery.

Jim then turned them towards the door and as he began opening it he said, "And this room is soon to be the most important one, and need the most work....because....." He ran in the room, set the computer on a pedestal, and ran next to me in front of the backdrop and we yelled...."We Are EXPECTING!!!!"  Their reaction was priceless!!!



After the tour with Mom and Dad we called the Sillimans in Bend, OR (Mark, Heidi, Dahlia, & Laurel).  And later were able to get Mike and Kristin, together in Nashville, to surprise them too.  The time difference in Oslo is 7 hours so we sent an email to Jessica and Spencer.

As typical with the Silliman family, it was trans-inter-national affair!
