Anyways, we're sure glad you folks stop by every once and awhile to see how were doing. I thought I'd introduce you tonight to another piece of the "digital age" that we use to visit with the Grammy's in Ohio and Tennessee.
The software is called Skype, and it's free. It is an audio/video conferencing software, that, with a microphone and webcam, you can talk AND SEE the person you're talking with in almost real time. Granted the quality isn't perfect, but for those Grammys and Grandpas that live out of town (for example, that would be you Nicole Bricker's family in Minnesota (ps, thanks for watching our blog!)), it's sure nice just to see your grandchildren "live"!
Anyways, we're huge fans of the software and love how it has connected at least two of Aidan's grandparents to us.
For those of you who would like to give it a try, click on the following link here, and it will take you to the Skype website. Trust me when I say that it won't infect your computer with viruses, nor will the Skype people sell out your information to the world...it's a quality product. Here is Aidan tonight talking with Grammy P in Tennessee after talking with Grammy T in Ohio.
Ty, Emmy and Aidan

You are funny :) Aaron and I have talked about doing Skype with my parents, but haven't yet (I don't really know why!). We used skype to talk on the phone when Aaron was in China... it was perfect for us. He paid a bit of money to get a number and voicemail, but it was well worth it!
OH! PS... we are at the hotel we saw Grammy T at last fall... only this time we have all been sick. Aaron mentioned as we went down the other day all looking rather rough that although we would LOVE to run into Grammy T again, we were hoping it wasn't that day!
Nicole, Sick or not, I would love to "run" into you, Aaron and your sweet little guys but I am in Ohio wishing Spring would come :( You should buy a web-cam. $30 at Wallmart!
Yes, Grammy T loves Skype! Don't know what I would do without it. It would just be so hard knowing that Aidan is so far away and I can't be apart of his life! This way he can see me and I him! He knows my voice and laughs (or like tonight had a teeny tiny hissy fit)! So cute though! I love that child! Those toofies will be in soon and you will forget those nights being up from 10pm to 2am???? Well ok, maybe not :(
I love the movies also. I feel like I don't miss anything (even though I know I do). If only it could be that I just reach in and feel him!
Thanks for the post! Loved it!
Grammy T
