Good Thing It's Free
Mariah has arrived and the boys are delighted, as you might be able to tell from how they decorated her bedroom door: a couple airplanes, a cable car on the Mariah Street/Gruner Avenue line, and many, many bows. They are still surprised by the sleeping habits of a teenager, curious about her vegan eating habits, but most of all thrilled by her presence and the excuse to use Skype now to chat with her family. What took us so long? We can also Skype with friends on sabbatical in Paris, and if/when some other friends move to Delhi, we'll work out the time difference and Skype with them, too.
I just hope at some point the novelty wears off enough that we can talk without the boys jumping up and down and launching rocket ships across the screen.

I gave you a blog award...come see!
catching up on your blog again...
and I've got bad news... (not that bad really :-) We've been using skype for over 7 years now and the boys' behavior doesn't get much better as time goes by (and here it was never a novelty). OK, once in a while, if I leave them alone with grandpa or both grandparents they'll actually talk for a few minutes. But for years and years it was just utter chaos.
You're starting with them older, so... maybe it will get better sooner. :-)
