Skype is the best Christmas present ever!

This year for Christmas we were hopeful that Michael's plan to skype us would work.  Our phone call in July from Amsterdam was pretty much a disaster and there has been much stress on this end about whether or not we would actually be able to talk to him.  We set up our skype and thanks to the Congers and Finleys who helped us test it out to see how it was all working so we would be ready.  Michael would have to use the computer at an internet cafe so he planned to reach us on the 26th since they were closed on the 25th.  We weren't sure when, how, or if it would be successful!
 Hi from the Congers...
 ...and the Finleys!  We were at the computer waiting when we got an email from Michael that he was at the internet cafe but all of the skype computers were taken so he didn't know if it would work or when he would get an available computer.  While waiting, we emailed back and forth a couple of times, trying to think about plan B.
 Success!!!
 These are screen shots we took while online.  

 This was the very best Christmas present ever, to have all of our family together again even if just for a short time.  He is happy and well and loving Romania!   How do you like the new family picture?  I LOVE it.  Signing out...one happy momma!
