and so this will have to do

Hayden's birthday was on Thursday and his big celebration was today. Yet another reminder of just how much I miss my dear Colorado friends. I'll spare you the details of how I'll never have friends like that again and never have an experience like that again and yada, yada, yada, and just leave it at I miss them.

I'm happy to report though that Skype is helping to ease the pain. Brent came through huge with my webcam for Christmas and since then we've used it almost daily to reconnect with our buddies. Just yesterday we chatted with Caroline as she waved her new big girl undies around for Sarah to see. A few days back I got to see Liz's Anna toddle across the room - she wasn't even crawling when we moved. And tonight...this...



Happy Birthday sweet baby Hayden. Singing to you via webcam was nothing like the real thing. But it was so much better than nothing. We love you so much big boy.

Erin, your love for your friends came through so clearly it brought tears to my eyes. Just one more reason your blog is so popular!!

P.S. Isn't technology wonderful?!?!

It was so nice to hear and see you tonight. Mazie was amazed at the whole thing and was full of questions afterward. It's nice to not feel so far away, even when you are.

Scott and I have the webcams and it has made these weeks SO much better! I can't imagine it without it- its something about seeing a live feed

I was surprised and so happy to see Sarah and yourself on the webcam at Hayden's birthday party. I had trouble keeping in the tears! Glad you were able to join the party through the webcam.
