[blparent] moving

[Nikki Fugett-Dobens]

            We have skyped already with my sister, who lives an hour away, 
and my best friend in New Jersey.  Mackenzie already says she wants to call 
Ashley and Lindsay on the computer! I am hoping to teach my dad to skype 
with us.  I have found that skype is a wonderful thing! So I'm hoping that 
will help her! I mention this, because this has really helped her on the 
phone, and since she has started talking a lot more, she can have better 
conversations!
She loves the phone, so that is a great idea, and the picture as well!
Thank you!
Nikki
