Thanks for documenting his 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…

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 your niece 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!

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 him (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 his diaper together. So awesome.

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

And THANK YOU THANK YOU, Em, 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.

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!
