Skype

One of our favourtie ways 

to keep Claire in contact with her family

is Skype.

I know this is no knew invention

and that people have been "Skyping" for yearrs.

But we never really had a reason to

.... until now.

We Skype with

Nana and Papa,

Grandpa and Grandma,

Uncle Tyler,

Uncle Travis,

and Uncle Matt and Auntie Lauren.

Sometimes with Angela,

sometimes with Jessi and sometimes with Edolbina, too.

They can see how she

grows,

how she changes

and hopefully she will be able

to recognize their faces and their voices.

Nana and Grandma 

can read her stories over Skype.

Family can give her puppet shows, too.

For now,

she seems to time her meals

(I feed her on demand)

to when we Skype.

But every once in a while

she turns on her charm and will throw out 

her smiles,

on just be content.

She is starting to try and focus on the computer,

although I'm not sure what she sees.

I love technology!

And as my brother said,

"Why would anyone pay for long distance?!"

Its true,

and there's no video!

Here she is Skyping with Grandma.

And HERE is Nana's point of view Skyping with Claire!
