Do you have a camera on your computer,,and have you Skyped yet? Whoa, this is wild. Ok, maybe I'm behind the curve a bit, but last night was the first time Roger and I officially saw and spoke to our son, Jarrod, via Skype since he left for college. I can't begin to tell you how great it was to see him. He looked great, very clean shaven for 9:30 at night(a fresh shave just for us, I'm guessing) and he was very excited to tell us all about his classes, his new friends and his extracurricular activities. Well, I'm sure we didn't hear ALL of the extracurricular stories. But it really felt as if he was right there with us in the dining room. And it felt great to connect with him this way. One thing though, this is not a telephone. Anything you say or do can possibly be heard or seen by roommates and dorm-mates. So be careful not to use that cutesy little nickname you've called your son or daughter since they were little! Yep, I'm gonna remember that next time.
