Web Cam

For Christmas our daughter in law had drawn my name and she gave me a web cam. It was really for my husband and I so it was convenient that she had drawn my name. Our daughter in law's parents were also given one for Christmas. The idea behind it was this way we could call them and see them and our grandson-great idea.

As new grandparents we were all excited about being able to see Lincoln, especially the other grandparents because they live in Omaha, Nebraska and their trips will more likely be less often than ours. There was only one little hang up with this plan. Our son and daughter in law did not have a camera. The only people we could see were the other grandparents. As much as we like them I am sure that they didn't want to see us that often-we tend to look the same week after week. That meant we had to wait until the parents of Lincoln got a web cam or a new computer.

Hurray-this week Lincoln's parents got a new computer WITH a camera. They called us Thursday night and told us how to connect so we could see them. Voila-it works! We could see them and they could see us. That night we got to see Lucas, Kelly, Lincoln, and Wembley (the dog). We also got to see as Wembley proceeded to lick the baby's head. As this was happening my husband is trying to tell them this was going on while Lucas is telling us about his new computer. They finally figured out what we were saying and shooed the dog away. Lincoln seemed to take it all in stride-as Lucas said, "You can tell the baby is used to it".

We all did come to one conclusion-you must make sure that you are fully clothed as you are talking. No more jumping out of the shower and talking on the phone!
