Technological Wonders

November 13, 2007 By Carole

Reason #822 why I love technology.

The web cam.

We finally set up our web cam and used it last week to talk to Brant, Heather and Ambrynn in Florida. It was kind of weird and will take some getting used to but it was pretty fun. After Ambrynn warmed up a bit she sang us some songs and told us about her Halloween. We were surprised at how long her hair has gotten and we were thrilled to hear her little voice.

We miss them so much but we’re adjusting and they are happy there and that’s what really counts. One thing that really helps is Heather is very good about sending photos.

Like this one, of Ambrynn in her Halloween costume.

Isn’t it nice to know that she’s just as cute as ever?

    How cute! I enjoy hearing the “little voices” of children. It always gets my attention in a crowd.

    Technology can be a wonderful thing…I’m so glad you can SEE them, it does make a big difference! What an adorable kitty cat she made!

    Ambrynn is really darling!

    The webcam is a great idea, I’m sure you all will have lots of great conversations that way. 🙂

    Awww, she’s so cute in her costume. Technology really is a fabulous thing.

  18. Heather says

    November 13, 2007 at 1:36 pm

    You know, some people say that technology is destroying our knack for human contact, but this totally disproves that! It must be such a relief to see their smiling faces.

  19. Beth says

    November 13, 2007 at 2:17 pm

    Very cool! What a great way to keep in touch. There’s something about being able to see and hear a person at the same time that makes one feel a little closer.

  20. Vicki says

    November 13, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    Um, I think that would move right up to Reason #1. HOW FANTASTIC! And isn’t she adorable???

  21. marianne says

    November 13, 2007 at 5:15 pm

    Seriously, just the cutest little kitty girl ever!
    don’t you love it when they sing their little songs?

  22. ~Kristie says

    November 13, 2007 at 5:21 pm

    YEAH for Webcams! It must have been so wonderful to see them, but it must have been a bit painful too.

    She looks so adorable.

  23. Debi says

    November 13, 2007 at 5:58 pm

    Even 5 years ago you wouldn’t have been able to connect like that, well without spending thousands of $$ anyway! So yes, technonlgy ROCKS!

    Yes she’s quite a cutie!

  24. Norma says

    November 13, 2007 at 6:44 pm

    Really, there ARE some wonderful things about technology. I will try to remember this the next time I have ISSUES with my computer and/or steno machine!

  25. Susan says

    What a cute kitty!!!

  26. Wanda says

    November 13, 2007 at 8:23 pm

    Ambryn is so adorable, just a doll. The webcam sounds like a great way to keep in toch and feel like you’re closer than just a telephone call or email.

  27. Rachel says

    November 13, 2007 at 8:35 pm

    So cute! I’m very much in favor of Halloween make-up that draws attention to the adorable button nose of the person wearing it. 🙂

  28. Teyani says

    November 13, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    sounds of loud clapping and hooting coming to you from the west coast! She is adorable as ever – I’ll bet that she loved seeing you too – does she still do the wiggle dance (or is she too grown up now – smile)
    what a sweet post.

  33. Sylvia says

    YAY!!! She looks wonderful, healthy and happy. It’s bittersweet, but it will tide you over until the next visit.

  34. Elizabeth says

    November 14, 2007 at 3:08 pm

    that’s great!! she is really adorable.

    my brother sends me videos of my niece and many pictures as well. i’m not sure if she’d get the video chat yet, but we could try it.

    living far from family is definitely hard – we’re 3000 miles away from ours. going home this week though! 🙂

  35. Leslie says

    November 15, 2007 at 10:54 am

    Yep, still a cutie! The webcam is a great idea and looks fun.
