How to ... Play Skyp

We have story time with GP and GM every Sunday evening via skyp so the Ls get to hear GP's soothing voice and GM's silly giggles when they read the Ls their favorite Princess stories.
I posted about that here.

We all snuggle around the computer and listen to GP read about ... whatever.
Even Pat and I find ourselves secretly listening since GP has the BEST story-teller-voice ever.
We both think he should become a Narrator! Even if you have to listen to "Cinderella on her wedding day" for the 206. time this month ... if he reads it you'll end up listening over and over again!

But today we kicked it up a notch!!! BAMMMM (I used to watch Emeril quite a bit ... BC - before children)/ Today Lulu and Jakob had a play-date across several states via skyp. SO FUNNN!!!

We miss the Rudnick's very much! They left a big hole in our hearts when they took off :(
Lulu has been asking about Jakob quite a bit lately. When we skyped today Lulu and Jakob started to chat and color "together". It was pretty need.
Anke and I had left the two alone (via skyp) and they just chatted and played like they were in the same room. Technology is pretty darn amazing these days!!!

Distance makes the heart grow fonder!!!

This is part of their conversation:
"And then ... really ... yes and then ...  I did up-dog, down-dog ... and then the Princess married the Prince ... I went to Gurke ... mit Saba ... yes and the Prince was very nice ... in Chicago ... Do you like Princesses? ... where are the trains? ... and she wore such a pretty dress ... where are the trains??? .... look I colored that for you Jakob. .. THE trains???... do you want another flower sticker? ... I want Muesli. I want lunch. ... which color? Lila? Mama; kann ich bitte Muesli haben?  ... I am hungry too. ... Me too! ... "

BYE!!!! 

See you on the "puter" soon again. 

And thank you Mr.WebCam for inventing this thing so we can do this ... just like that!
