Welcome, Kevin

Emily and Kevin on Skype June 7, 2009

Ah, there you are, little Kevin, baby boy.

New mama’s got a son in her eye
No clouds are in my changing sky
Each morning when I get up to rise
I’m livin’ in a dreamland

(Stills/Young)

Congratulations, Em and M!

    Wow! Gorgeous photo (kudos to Michael or Sylvia) !!!

    Love the poem/lyrics ~ something new to me and perfectly apt.

    Beautiful . . .

    Sons have been one of the highlights of my life.

    XXXOOO

    I copied this and sent it to other Hydes and Hoods. When I copied the photo, it said “From Skype conversation with Michael . . . ”

    KT, do you know a way to capture a still during a Skype conversation??? If so, I need to learn how to do it so when James is in Mexico we can take photos of him.

    Wow!

  3. M, be sure to click on the photo and head to my Flickr photostream for a couple more shots. Yes, I captured these during a Skype call with Kevin (not long after the fab conversation with you yesterday) – so awesome…He opened his eyes and sang at me, then Em turned the Mac around and we watched Michael change K’s diaper together. So awesome.

    I should, like, see about buying some Skype stock or something.

    And THANK YOU THANK YOU, Em and Michael, for surprising me with the call. I used the Mac OS screen grabber app thingy (called Grab, I think) to capture the Skype window. Multiple times. :-)

    The lyric is the chorus of “New Mama” by Neil Young, from his album Tonight’s the Night. I saw references to Stephen Stills around the Internets so assume he wrote the music or the words. It is a devastatingly beautiful song – you must hear it.

    Fab photo! Tech queen scoops on-site photographer, of course. D-day photos to follow as soon as tech-boy gets a moment away from Daddy duties. Going to Skype for Great-Grandpa, too, doggone it! And hook Annagail up with a birthday account and Macbook from us all – just circumvent Tiger completely. I’ve every confidence she could do it, right now. Famiy group hug!

    Mamie-mia!

    Thanks for documenting Kevin’s first Skype conversation! It will be a fun memory for posterity. He is looking forward to his next visit with Auntie Katie very much! He’s showing such techie tendencies like his Daddy already…
