My little sister is in London right now studying abroad. She'll be there two semesters and since she's been there we've been active with Skype. And I'm in love. What a great way to communicate. We have done it with Nathan's parents and now my folks are on it and a couple of my siblings. It's so nice to sit there and chat. It's like sitting in the living room having a conversation together. And to top it off our family can watch the boys playing. Conner currently loves showing whomever we are talking to either his mouth and teeth or his feet. It cracks him up. Biruk just loves staring at the screen and watching them talk to us. And today he even played hide n seek thinking my brother Lee could only see him if he popped his head up over the desk. It was quite comical. And the littlest of all waves hello and sometimes says hi. It's a lot of fun and I hope it will mean less time on the cell and more face to face time. And for those of you who live far away from your family, you would LOVE it.
In other news, the hunt for our future home continues. We have all sorts of wants with this next home. Seeing as it will be our fifth residence in five years we are hoping we'll find the perfect home to settle in for a while. The biggest hurdle of course is finding a nice quiet place for Nathan's office. The search has been fun but the control freak in me would like to know where we will be settling (not a fan of unknowns). Soon enough I suppose.
We are very blessed and life has been a lot of fun. The boys are getting so big and have been cracking us up since they are all able to communicate with us now. These are the days....
Those pictures are amazing! Man your kids are beautiful. Whose the one in the last picture with your boys? Has to be a member of your family, right?

Trent looks so much like Quentin... and calm, too. Clearly he has been bodysnatched and replaced by an impostor. :p
ReplyDeleteTesi, yes it a sibling. It's the youngest of the 11, Trent. He's a mixture of his 3 older brothers.
ReplyDeleteTrike, Trent is actually very calm with the kids. We call him the "baby whisperer". All the grandkids LOVE him.
Dear Blogger,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to send anything until I knew you still posted to this blog or read "comments" left. I would just like to point out that you are a couple hundred pictures behind from when you made that false promise of "a picture posted each day" so long ago. Your audience awaits patiently.
Sincerely,
A blog-aholic
