If you don't know about Skype, let me tell you about it. Skype is a FREE online, video conferencing service. If each party has a webcam then you can talk to each other while virtually sitting in each others living rooms. However, if either or both parties don't have webcams you can still talk to each other over this service with amazing clarity. It actually allows me to talk to people inside my apartment vs at the end of my driveway hoping it doesn't start to rain.
Now, this might not be so great if you live in the same city (although, Dine and I have been known to talk over Skype vs use our cell phones!) but it is absolutely awesome for communicating with p
eople far away - which for us, of course is everyone! So far we have been able to talk with Annie and Lucas in South Korea ( and got a virtual tour of their beautiful apartment), Meaghan, Jake and Carey in Wisconsin, my parents, sister, nephew, grandma, grandpa and aunt in Minneapolis, and Vonny and Justin in Minneapolis. All conversations have been highly successful and a lot of fun. Talking with Vonny and Justin was cool because they didn't have a webcam, but we were able to talk, and they were able to see me.So what I'm saying to you, friends and family, is that you should take five minute to download Skype, sign up and look me up! You can look me up by name or username: kcvirki
Phil and I look forward to Skyping with you soon.

i always think people have some sort of eye contact issue on skype, i am all about gmail and the chat on that as easy as it is and the way it works...but skype did not lure me. although with the baby it will be awesome. you just have to have parents who get all techno savvy :) mine failed to do so.
