Skype Cousins

Cousins are special. I was blessed with nine cousins on my father’s side of the family and three on my mother’s side. Now that I am a nana I love watching my granddaughters interact with one another. Recently the older one had a cold and the younger one had a stomach bug. We kept them apart but they enjoyed seeing each other on Skype. If you live away from your grandchildren or children you know that Skype is the next best thing to being together. The two pictures of them on the left are them “Skyping.”

Picture on the right was made earlier. I think you can tell they are crazy about each other!

The youngest granddaughter can’t talk yet but she sure does squeal when she sees her cousin!

Do you have family members you Skype with?

  2. So sorry, Skype cousins huh? Isn’t technology wonderful! If it wasn’t for skye I wouldn’t see my DAughter & her family, but once a year. I have an adorable Grandson and my youngest & great son-in-law that lives in Missouri so we use Skype to talk and see each other. Sometimes we even use it to see my other grandkids that live about 45 minutes away too. Yes, technology is wonderful.

  3. Yes, I found my great – grandmother’s pic and added it to my maternal side of the family six generations gathering. Hope you come over to take a look-see!!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

  6. That is so sweet that they have such a great relationship. Cute that they could stay in contact when sick. Hope they are feeling better.

  7. We love Skype! We’re in Ontario and my Mom, Stepdad, Brother & his family are all in PEI. We use Skype regularly with them. It’s such a beautiful way of being able to stay in touch.

  10. I came back to answer your question (left on my blog), nope…the romance never lasted. She went off to college and he was in his last year of high school. Whew, that was a hard one, watching him mope around when she dumped him. I’d forgotten all about that. Only time I’ve ever seen that child sleep during they day (well since he’s been big anyway). Young love can be tough stuff.

  13. We love SKYPE…need to try and get my dad using it more for our kids sake..love using it when I travel for work so can say goodnight and see kids!

  14. Couldn’t agree more. I each of my parents had like 9 or 10 brothers and sisters, so I was blessed with TONS of cousins. I was close to several of them. My kids are equally blessed in the cousins department since I have 3 siblings and hubby has 6 =)

  15. THIS is why I love the invention of Skype! My little boy talks to my best friends little boy in Belgium who he has never met before, but they play and interact just the same as if they have known each other for years and are in the same very room 🙂

  18. My boys were skyping their sister who’s away at college! Need to get them skyping their cousins! Love how sweet that is!

  19. I totally understand. Looking down at my cellphone and face timing someone convinced me that I should NEVER do that again!

  24. I have never used Skype before. I saw myself on my webcam and that was the end of that!

    Happy WW 🙂

  28. That’s awesome! Thank you for commenting, Theresa. You are always so sweet. Blessings to you!

  37. My kids love skype-ing their cousins too. We live almost ten hours drive away from my family so Skype has been a blessing!

  38. So cool that the cousins can keep in contact via Skype. We used to use it but now have switched to using Facetime as most of them have iphones/ipads 🙂

  44. Isn’t Skype great? The godmother to my nephew was able to attend the service through Skype this year. Amazing how technology can keep us all together.
