Smile for the camera!

We used Skype to call home from Asia through the internet, but now that we've stopped traveling, we have finally gotten around to setting up our webcam. Talking to adults from afar isn't too difficult with audio only, but the webcam certainly makes conversations with kids a whole lot more fun. That is, if you can get them to stop making faces at themselves. These snapshots of my sister's family are an excellent example of how not to use skype if you want to have a meaningful conversation. But it is fun to see how many people you can fit in front of the thing...




Plus, Cheddar the Cat can get in on the event:





(If you use skype , we'd love to talk to you! Please ask us for our Skype name.)
