The neatest thing about our Christmas this morning for me was that we were able to share it with the boys' great-grandparents who live hundreds of miles away in Florida. My brother-in-law, John, was able to set up a Skype camera on his laptop in our family room so that my grandparents could watch that moment when the boys came into the room and saw the presents under the tree. So often I am thinking about technology as something that is frustrating when it doesn't work or intrusive when I have to check my blackberry for work, but this was one of those times when technology was magic.
There have been a couple of moments this Christmas season that I want to remember into my old age. Nothing big, just little memories when the boys have had looks of wonderment as they stare in awe at the Christmas tree or dance with excitement as they open a present. It was very touching to be able to share one of those moments with my family far away. Here is a shot of Davey bear chatting with great-grandma and great-grandpa via Skype.
