Modern Technology

It's Sunday here, and we were up and at 'em early (much to Kyle's dismay) to get to Costco before the other 13,000,000 residents of Seoul.

In our haste, we missed calls from Jess on both Vonage and Viber.  Something must be important!

Once we were in the car, I reached Jess and learned that Skype now has the capability to group video chat (even on a capable mobile device like my iphone), and she wanted to give it a go!

It was a lovely drive, chatting at once with Gram and Beepa in DeWitt , Jess & the girls in Royal Oak and Kyle and me in Seoul. We are still working out the kinks of the group video call, but I think we are just one software upgrade away from perfection!

Bite? Who, me? Samkins (Feb 2010)

Thank you Skype, thank you Viber, thank you What's App, thank you Vonage.

It's because of these marvels of modern technology that Kyle and I are able to see and talk to some of the people we love and miss so much.

I don't know how, but somehow it these easy connections make it easier to be so far away (however, it is a challenge no matter where you are to show the baby bump in while in a vehicle ;-) ).

Modern technology allows us to share in big and littlest happenings in everyday life, and today allowed us to have a hilarious face time conversation with Sage after she told us Kyle should "have Sami naughty all by himself," (referring to when Jess asked if we wanted to take care of her b/c Sami was being naughty pants and bit her sister and left a bruise):


Me: Where'd mommy go?

Sage (Feb 2010)

Sage: She's putting Sami to bed. Sami had to go right to bed, right to bed without a snack.

Me: Why no snack?

Sage: Because, she can't have a snack because she bit Sophie. She was biting.

Me: So, Sami wanted to have Sophie for her snack, sounds like (laughing)?

Sage: Giggles

Me: So, if you have a bite of your sister, then you don't get to have a bite of a snack?

Sage: No. No, we can't bite our sisters (in a clarifying tone as if to explain, 'No, Shelb, you are confusing a snack and a bite, they are different. You can bite a snack but you can't bite your sister').

She smiled, then we lost our connection.

Modern technology.
