Do You Skype?

I know it's been around for years,
I tried to implement it when my daughter
and family first moved away...
but FINALLY I am set up to Skype with my loved ones!

Via the computer program Skype, I am able to talk to
and "see" others through a video feed
at NO Cost!
I get to see wonderfully silly images like this...

(Almost 4 yo Amos making faces)

So if you have loved ones who live at a distance,
you might want to invest in two computer cameras
(one for them and one for you) and voila!
You can have some great "face time!"

Here are some recents photos from my trip up north:

Katie is taking a coffee break at our hotel room.

Grandson #2 is due in June!

what a ticklish tummy!
How I miss being close...
Thank You LORD,
for the blessing of Skype.

  1. Oh Jessica,
    I am so happy for you that you were able to do that, it will add a whole new dimension to your
    calling! that is just so great!! I know how hard it is for you to have them so far away, so at least you can see his lil antics in person via skype. Wonderful, what a blessing!!
    He is so adorable, and Katie looks wonderful.
    Didn't know you went there recently, that is great too!! I am sure Katie was thrilled, as I know you and Tony were!! lol
    Wow, June will be here before ya know it!!
    So she is having another boy, what does Amos think about that??
    Have a great day and evening,
    Blessings Galore hon,
    Nellie

  2. If she's having a baby in June, I'd like to know where her tummy is! LOL!
    WOW what a treat for you all that you were able to get together! Darling pictures! Well, I have Skype capabilities on my computer but I need some practice. Some day when you and I can manage the time we will have to play with it. I've done it a couple times but really don't know WHAT I'm doing yet...or exactly HOW. But what a great invention!!!

  4. I agree, SKPE is wonderful! I love using it when hubby is out of town in America. Doesn't work too well over in Afghanistan. But I think it's a great way for families to stay connected. Amazing technology!

  5. Glad you've "mastered" Skype. I have a cheap camera that clips on my laptop (since it has no camera built in). It works. Right now, the children on the other end are a little bouncy...but it's better than nothing AND doesn't cost additional $$$$! We really have many blessings to count in this age of computers, don't we?

    I can see that you had a wonderful, WONDERFUL time with Amos.
