We were recently introduced to skype. I had heard of it before, but never used it. As a going away present, we received a webcam in order to skype with our families on a regular basis. I have to say, I really kinda love it. Other than a few glitches with our camera, skyping is truly delightful! I often skype with my sister and my almost 2-year old niece. It's really fun! I think I see them more now through skype than I did when we were at home. I also occasionally skype with my sister-in-law and my nephew although my nephew has a hard time standing still within the frame. So a lot of the conversation is yelling at him to move back in front of the camera. :) Evan also skypes with his whole family every Sunday - it's convenient because they are all together in one place. It's really almost like we are at home and that's so awesome!
One of my biggest worries was that I would miss so much of my niece and nephew growing up, but now with skype, it's like I'm not missing anything. Thank goodness, because they really light up my life and I'm so thankful that modern technology makes it so easy for me to connect with them. If you have skype, look me up so I can add you to my contacts and we too can chat like I'm not several states away!!
I totally agree! We use Skype to communicate with our families back home, and when my husband is deployed it makes all the difference in the world!
