As many of you know my sister had a baby this summer so as a new Aunt I am excited about everything that my niece does. My sister, brother-in-law and niece live in Alexandria, VA so I do not see them as much as I would like. My sister sends me pictures or videos of her daily. We face time whenever we get the chance. We even face timed when she was an hour old. Its amazing what technology can do and I am thankful everyday that I am able to experience her daily life through my iPhone. My sister sent us a video of my niece “talking” and now we can be part of the moment while being 100’s of miles away. I think some days its the only it keeps my mom from getting in the car and driving 9 hours to be with her. Thank you technology!
Oh my goodness, what a sweet girl!
I can’t even imagine what sort of technology she will be using in her lifetime!
Carrie, I was talking to a teacher on the outdoor education trip this week about the difference an iPhone makes for families getting pictures of their children while they are away. It used to be that parents had to wait till the children returned to see and hear about the trip. Now with Twitter, email, etc., the excitement can be shared immediately.
