Video calls

We've struggled to connect with Grandpa the past few weeks (everyone changes church schedules so our previous video call habits have to change as well and it can take some time to fall into a good pattern) so the kids were rather excited when he called last night during dinner. 

They all raced to huddle around Andrew so that they could see Grandpa:

They're a cute little bunch and I'm so grateful for the technology that allows us to stay connected with our families even though we're so far away. I'm grateful my kids get to see their grandparents when they talk to them, rather than having them being a mystery voice on the other end of a phone call (as they were for me when I was growing up).
