Charlotte is truly a high-tech baby. She has BOTH sets of grandparents set up on Skype, which is a program that lets you videoconference with others via a webcam and the internet. Grandma B and Granddad (the Stringers) initiated the Skyping, and Grandma Jo and Grandpa Spike (the Evans) ran out and bought a webcam not long after. Now, Charlotte can "talk" to either set of grandparents, and we can all see each other. Grandma B is planning story times, and Grandma Jo has been experimenting with a function that allows her to replace her image with that of various animals that talk when she talks. Charlotte's Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Don are also on Skype, and we hope to convince her Aunt Erin and Uncle Andrew to jump on the bandwagon as well.
If anyone else has a webcam and wants to Skype with Charlotte, our Skype ID is "tnstringers". We don't stay connected at all times, so just give us a call and let us know to get it set up.

All right, all right.... You've convinced us-- Andrew and I will buy a webcam. We're just never first movers on things like this. I'm excited to get to see more of little Char-char (even if it's on my computer screen)!
