Hello.....can you see us?

First time this morning. We had a 'date' to be in our 'chat room' at 9:00 am. I can't believe that both of us got up before 8:00, showered got all dressed - earlier than usual to 'let the camera roll'. Well true to their words all four children were signing in. Of course I couldn't think of anything else to say excpet, "Can you see us?" And us trying to sqeeze both of us in the little box viewing window and smiling up at the camera instead of looking down at the keyboard. But it was only Kelly and Valerie that could see us. We sent and receieved kisses.
But it was a first attempt and we're learning how to navigate this new world of communication. We couldn't connectd with Novali and that was a disappointment, nor could we get a chance to see how much our little Javier is growing inside his warm coccoon. But we went off happily to church knowing that all four children were able to communicate with us at least in some way.
There was a mother in church this morning who cried tears of joy when she presented her daugther whom she hadn't seen for three years, who had come from Spain to be reunited with her mom and own daughter. I'm glad we are able to communicate. Even if I only say, "Can you see me?, I am really saying, "I love you, I miss you and I wish you the very best"

  • Mom:

    I think MSN Messenger only allows one video connection at a time. So that might be part of the problem.

    But IMing (instant messaging) is a difficult skill to master.

  • Hey I saw you guys! You both looked nice and well dressed for an online appointment. :) Miguel is right ... one at a time. It was fun. Good idea.
