Suddenly, 840 miles doesn't seem quite so far...
You gotta love video iChat. At one point, we had a 3-way screen going and Ryan was on too. It was a regular family affair or at least, a virtual one. Of course, the kids requested to see Scout, so I went downstairs to get the critter for a brief cameo appearance. The highlight seemed to be when he yawned straight at the camera and both kids let out an "awwwwwwwwe" in unison. Lexie has a proven track record of growling at the screen, so we spared her the trauma this go 'round. We poked fun at Paige for wearing her hoodie and her dad asked her if she had gone Goth since leaving home. Hoodie or not, it was sure good to see her face and hear her voice...all at the same time. Ryan had to sign off early because he was in the middle of a very important virtual golf game. Aw, the joys of college...

Now THAT is the kind of thing current technology is good for! :) I was at the conference in SA with you & a few thousand other people this weekend. Our paths didn't cross, but it was a joy to know you were there worshiping & learning too. Your work has been a great help and inspiration to me. Thanks so much for all you do.
Hugs,

Aw, that's precious! And I love how she loves talking to you. (& Ryan too)
I can relate to Hayden being left at home. I was in the 6th grade when I became an "only child". It's a different world!
That is so cool. Technology can be a great tool and friend. :)
I have to admit that I have seen college roadtrip (Disney rated G) like 3 times and it so reminds me of you and what you just went through by dropping Paige off. Its soo funny and I highly recommend it because its a sweet father/daughter relationship and has you crying and laughing within minutes of one another.
There is a scene where the father watches the daughter go up the steps to her dorm and she turns and waves bye and he sees her as a baby taking steps, then as the kindergartener and then back to her in college. Then, the father's exact words are.."Where does the time go?" Ok...seriously boo hoo! I've cried every time I've seen it.
I am glad you could see Paige's face. I know that make difference in itself. :)
