Hello All! Have you tried Skype, yet? If you haven't you should. Kelly's parents live in New Mexico and we have recently enjoyed chatting with them via Skype. It is free to make computer to computer calls via the Internet. The kids love the video calling and getting to see Grandma and Granddad Briden. We love that it is free! My brother Rick has gotten an account so we hope to chat with he and Aunt Kristin more often via Skype as well. If you have family living even a few hours away it is fun to get to see them via a virtual play date.
Here is a funny Skype story. We have been using it quite often lately. One afternoon I was watching a video clip of Secretary Of State Clinton at a news conference. Timmy upon hearing her voice runs into the kitchen and starts waving madly at my computer screen and shouts "HI". He now assumes all video I watch on the Internet is a two way conversation like Skype. Boy was he miffed that Hillary wouldn't return his "Hi", he continued to yell louder getting closer to the screen. Needless to say there was no response. Poor Timmy, snubbed by the former First Lady our esteemed Secretary of State. I just hope if he ever meets her face to face he can forgive her rudeness : ) Ha!Ha!
