What's going on here? It is our Christmas day in Connecticut, and this is a photo of my mom, who is 91, and my 3 sisters, and a neice and two nephews, and Kathy. But what are they looking at and why are they smiling so?
The answer is that both of our daughters are a continent away, in Los Angeles. This is the first year since they were born, that they have not been home for Christmas. So we all have iSight webcams on our Macintosh laptops, and this was our way of connecting so we could all be together on this day. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to talk to them, and to see them in real time as well. A wonderful Christmas indeed.
Maybe you should title these series of pictures "the modern family". Many people are concerned with technology but here is a perfect example of how it can bring loved ones together. I am hearing so many great stories of our soldiers in Iraq and Afgan. who speak to their families on an almost daily basis via similiar set-ups.
