Wonderful World of Webcamville!

I bought a webcam with my Best Buy gift card Sam gave me for Christmas. It is so fun to have "live" visits with my family in New York and see their lovely faces. We haven't been to New York for two years. I miss my family! My dad and brothers have never met Tyler so they were especially excited to see Tyler "live" on the webcam.

As you can see, I'm not the only one that's enjoying the webcam....
This is Brian visiting with his almost 12 year old Uncle Ryan. He's showing off the letter B he wrote to his uncle.



Uncle Ryan knows that Brian loves Mickey Mouse, so he drew a Mickey for Brian. Isn't that sweet?!



Everytime we're visiting others on the webcam, Brian likes to show people his toys. He also eats pretzels and offers them to whoever he's visiting with. Grandpa Hallstrom pretended to grab a preztel and eat it. Brian thought that was awesome! Oh, but it made him sad when Uncle Mark had to reject Brian's invitation to come over and play. He just doesn't understand that Uncle Mark couldn't jump out of the computer screen and be at our place. How am I suppose to explain that to a 4 year old?!

we've had a web cam on our mac for two years now, but never had a reason to use it until this Christmas when Patrick's family all got webcams too and now we use it all the time. It's a lot of fun, isn't it?! Nolan likes to put on a show too! It's almost more fun than real-life because he feels he needs to perform! Do you use skype? We should chat with webcams sometime. That would be fun!

Oh and P.S.- Thanks for making this public again! Now I am notified when you update and you show up at the top of my "places to go" list instead of hanging out at the bottom with all the private blogs!
