Yesterday, I wrote a snippet about how the number four is important, but I still think some of its meaning may have been lost, so, I may need to spell it out a little clearer....* There are many things that reflect the number '4' in our lives, but, currently, Jenny and I have only three children...
If you complete the pattern... what do you get?

SMILING ALL THE WAY OVER HERE IN MA!!!! :) :) :) :)
Congratulations! I truly am so happy for you & Jenny and your 4th bundle of joy to come!!!! :)
I've met Jenny and know she is great person and a wonderful mother. I've only had the pleasure to talk with you, and from what we talked about you sound like a great person and an incredible father and husband... and together you've got everything you need to keep on growing the Pike Family! Now let the J naming begin!!!! CONGRATS again!!!!
WWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTT ????????????
Jay,
Why do you put this on you blog before telling your family? Why did this Joanne person know about this before you mother?
That's ALOT screwed up.

Wow, definately feeling the brotherly love in here today.
Ray, I'm sorry that you felt the need to lash out harshly regarding the subject of the posting, but, as I now feel on the defensive, let me justify....
This 'blog' is a creation of mine intended to update the many various family members that exist across our family (both Jenny and mine) spanning time zones, sleeping habits, and our own personal inability to maintain clear lines of communications through all of this.
This is my place to put up every little goings on that happens in the Pike Family Household, most of which seems only important to me, but I share for posterity sake... if you like it, then enjoy it... but, in my own mid-30's senility, it's nice to have a written log of my life to look back at later in life or maybe just next week.... yes, I forget that fast.
Mum reads the posting here on a daily basis (thank you mum), and when I posted the origional posting yesterday I had just received two messages about other postings just minutes and even one message after the posting, so, yes, I know she reads it.
Am I really that formal of a person that I call everyone and tell them things that happen in our lives?
Sometimes, but in this... well, it is our fourth afterall (in royalty terms this is the backup to our backup of our backup baby... though they are not all boys, which ruins the "heir and a spare" mentality, but you catch my drift) and each time we've found more and more creative ways to announce these births.
Remember Joey and Jessamyn's shirts that they wore when we came up there that said "I'm the Big Brother" or "I'm the Big Sister"? Or the emailing of the ultrasound announcing Jessamyn?
I should hope that you of all people would appreciate this medium for communication, but, I can understand the frustration as we both understand it's uses from two vastly different angles.
Jenny's parents are very teleconnected as well, so using this format for communications seemed to be a great transport for this announcement... maybe I should have rethought that.
So, please try to accept my appologies and grant some forgiveness... I must say I was amazed to read you comments here (I didn't even know you knew about the blog) nor did I know you had my cell phone number 'till I checked my voice mail between conference calls and received your rather terse message...

Mazel Tov on the announcement of your 4th child (and our 6th grandchild)! We send you our love and good wishes across the miles for happiness and good health. May all of you share in the joy of this new addition to the Pike household!
All of our love,
Diane & Dad/Bubbie & Zayde
Mazel tov sweethearts! I know Dad wrote for us but just wanted to send my love and best wishes for the newest addition to the family.
Jay, no need to apologize for anything! Ray IV, may I suggest using the phone if you feel strongly as blog comments live forever, and are seen, and judged, by everyone.
