nomination: world’s best use of skype

February 8, 2010

We’ve gotten to skype with four of the other boys from Kembert’s orphanage in Haiti (two different sets of brothers). I love that all of the parents are in touch. I know these kids miss each other tremendously. They didn’t say much to each other – I’m not sure they really understood that it was “real time” and that they could converse this way. But they made faces at each other and laughed and laughed. It was pretty cute. We’re looking forward to skyping with more of his friends . . . . once I can figure out how to do it again.

    We Skype with the Tongginator's "China cousins" often still, five years later. It's a GREAT way to keep in touch.

    I love Skype. With my family on the West Coast and me on the East Coast, Skype is a crucial part of my emotional heart health. 🙂
