I am so amazed (and scared) of technology today. But, in this case, I am so impressed with the opportunity we have to talk to loved ones like they are right beside us via Skype. My parents, (and entire family for that matter), are back home in Orlando, FL. We have recently vowed to take a few minutes every weekend to talk to one another as if we were on the phone, but with the added benefit of being able to see one another. It is so cool! I woke up this morning to the angelic 2 1/2 year old voice, singing "Mooommmmmyyyyy" through the monitor. I dragged myself out of bed, got both boys in my lap, and met my parents this morning on the world of Skype. Garrett and Cole got to see their Grandma and Grandpa for a short while and we loved it.
So, my feelings of sadness for my boys not being able to grow up with their six cousins in FL is lessened now that we can AT LEAST get a glimpse into each others every day life. I personally log into skype with our MAC laptop (camera is already installed in the screen) and take my FL family for a walk around our home; I am eager to show them the changing of the leaves here soon. And perhaps a little snow this winter? Maybe, maybe not, but thank you for SKYPE. Without it, I would not have the blessed day that I now have this morning. :)

Okay, I am getting out of the loop on technology! What's Skype? I don't even have a camera on my laptop, but, of course, because it's a Mac, Brad's does! Another reason I'm sure he'll point out that makes a Mac better than a PC. He loves those Mac guy commercials! :)
We just video-chatted with my sisters the other night. I thought the same thing. How crazy is it that we can walk them through our house, and they can just sit and watch Evangeline splash in her tub? It's one of the technilogical progressions that I like :)
