For my birthday last fall my brother, Adam, gave me a webcam. The idea was to make it easier for Mom and Dad to see and hear Katherine as she grows. We have used it some since, but haven’t yet worked out all the kinks. Yesterday, though, Sydney rigged things so that we could use Skype to call from our computer to others’ phones. Our test call was to my parents . . . at 1pm our time and 7am their time. We then tried it later, with Sydney’s parents. It was nice to check in with both of them, inexpensively, and well before we will have a phone of our own hooked up.
