Skype

For awhile now, Susannah and I have talking to our parents every week via computer using a program called Skype. It's really quite fun and it's great because it's free!

Up until last Sunday, it's always been just audio. The web cams for Macs are expensive so we haven't gotten one yet. My parents have both Mac and PC, and they have a camera for the PC. The only problem is, it doesn't have a microphone to pick up sound.

After we'd chatted for awhile, we decided to try things out on the PC. It turned out to be pretty funny, because we could see our parents, but they couldn't see us. They could hear us, but we couldn't hear them. We would ask questions and they would answer with the homemade versions of sign language. It was hilarious! Of course I had to take a picture!
