Another sign of the times...


Earlier this week Hannah and I were talking about what month it is and what month it would be next.
Hannah: 'It's July next month?!  Woo Hoo!  That is when Kas and Tin are coming to visit!"

Tonight after dinner the girls wanted to make a call to Kari, Andy, and the boys.  So, instead of picking up the phone and dialing the very long international number we got out the computer.
You see these days if you want to talk to someone you can just call them via Skype with your webcam and have a conversation with them while they are in the comfort of their own bedroom!
I get our little computer out and even Hailey goes crazy - running over to her chair, climbing right up to be a part of whatever is going on.

It's crazy really if you think about it.

Between email, Skype, Magic Jack, cell phones, landlines, postal mail, etc there is really no excuse for not talking to the Parades-Miller family more often.

Our first attempt wasn't very productive.  They didn't answer.  "Mom, that's ok, we will call Auntie Jennie instead!"  Luckily Jennie was home and quickly responded to my text.  The girls loved chatting with her and having a dance party.  During our call, Kari and the boys called us (after seeing our attempt) so we let Jennie go so we could answer (sorry Jen).

Seriously Sister! All of the wonderful technology (that is also the devil sometimes), there is no reason miles need separate families!

I know! And still we don't hear from each other enough!
