Hi there. Matt and Jenny got the internet back up today, so we got to visit with Jake and Ellie on the webcam. It was so wonderful! We actually got to see them! Jake looked so cute in his little sleeveless t-shirt. He said "I miss you so much! I really do. I really want to play with you!" I told him maybe we could read a book this weekend...that I still had the firefighter book from the library that he loved. He liked that idea. Then Jake said "I got a new toy. I'll be right back...I have to go get it and show you." And he did. We gave hugs, blew a kiss and said good night. It was just so nice. (I did get a little emotional - I couldn't help it since it was the first time seeing them since they left.)
And then Ellie! She got excited when she saw Jim and me. She reached out and tried to touch us. She threw us a kiss. I played patty cake with her - that held her attention for a few minutes. Isn't it wonderful that she can see us and, therefore, remember us?!
This webcam is going to be wonderful. I recommend it for anyone with kids or grandkids out of town. And you don't have to be a technological genius, because Jim nor I are! Does anyone have other ideas for the webcam? You know, fun little things to do with your grandchildren? I need ideas! Thanks friends.
- Anne
