Skype

A few years ago, Matt's parents had the really good idea to buy us all webcams so we could Skype with each other. With us living in Michigan and Matt's grandparents traveling to Florida every year, it was a great idea. However, we never really tried it.

Until recently! We started to use Skype to video chat with our families, and it is so much fun! The girls love it. They love seeing themselves and our family on the computer. Kate sticks her little face right in there, and Annie makes me arrange the camera so people can see her dance. Annie is always asking to talk to someone on the computer.

We got a new computer recently (a virus attacked and destroyed our old one. Ooops), so here we are the very first day talking to Grandma and Grandpa Ralls

Talking to Gigi one morning.

And the other day, we talked to Uncle Ed, Aunt Laura, Mallory and Adam. I sound and feel old saying this, but it was so crazy to see two little 3-year-olds talking and laughing with each other over a video chat! Annie and Mal are like children of the future :)

The picture quality isn't great, but it was all I could do to get Mal on the screen. It's so cute!
