We had very special friends move to Colorado last week. After much complaining to God on my part, I finally reconciled myself to joy for their opportunities and moved on to use my energy productively...like plying them with junk food and monopolizing their last moments here as much as possible.
Anyway, tonight was our first family Skype talk with them. It was great! It helped make them not feel quite so far away, and Cade was thrilled to see his Mattew, Tammy, Ackee, Banen, and Ben again. As a matter of fact, he wasn't quite satisfied with the Skype experience, and kept asking to visit them at 'home'. Nonetheless, it is amazing to me that we have the real chance of keeping this relationship vibrant and close through such online technology. Cade doesn't have to grow up without them, he'll just have to learn the new way of visiting with them.
We're going to have to figure out how to make Hot Wheels & tickles work via internet. That's going to require some creativity.

I love it!
I'm so glad you started this blog.
Skype is really cool and once we get it all figured out, it will be even better.
It looks like my network card wasn't connecting well when we talked tonight - that may have been the problem. I found out after we hung up... go figure.
It was so fun to see Cadeorade running around the other night and talking to us on the screen. It was a bummer though, I wanted to reach out and give him a big hug.
Praise God for technology!
:)
It never ceases to amaze me with the wonders of modern technology. But even without its wonders nothing can take away how much all of you mean to me and my family. I truly believe that no matter what we will continue to grow closer! We love you guys and please give Cade a big hug from me!
FYI... I'm already looking for that next cool Hot Wheel set to take up more room in your house!!!
