Saturday Night Skyping With the Grandkids

I still don't have a twitter account, so I know nothing about tweeting, but what I do know is how to Skype. The first time our grandkids saw us over the video camera, one of them suddenly got a little shy. That's our little Alivia hiding her face in the web shot below. And this was the first time we got to lay eyes on our newest granddaughter, Emmy Rose, who is nearly 6 months old.





Now it's become old hat and we love it every time we hear our laptop ring.




I still can't get over that this is a free service.


Until we get to see this little one in person for the first time, we are sure having fun getting to know her from the other side of a webcam.

What a wonderful invention. The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller. Beautiful grands.

I KNOW! Isn't it fabulous! We used to 'I-chat' my niece when she was in Germany....who'da thunk it!!

Totally agree, Skype's great. My daughter and I use it to chat - it helps me because I'm deaf and it means I can lipread her. It almost feels like being in the same room - so it melts the miles away.

She is gorgeous. I really must get my family onto Skype :-)
