i love ichat av!

well, we may be mac dorks, but we're dorks who get to see our friends hundreds of miles away with the fun invention of ichat av! eric just got a new apple laptop for work, and he came on with audio ichat tonite while kristi and i were instant messaging...and it was pretty much like talking on speaker phone... kristi and i agreed that we could just pick up the phone and talk much easier.... but THEN he asked if we could do video w/ my laptop... noooo, but go ahead and rub in the fact that you have an incredibly awesome new laptop in front of my husband, eric! :) brian would not be outdone, of course, so dundundunDUN!!!! he hooked up our digital camcorder to my laptop, and voila! there were kristi and i both in our pjs chatting as if we were sitting right beside each other! well, not exaaactly like that... the quality wasn't that great, but that's probably best for 2 pregnant women at 10:30 at night...haha. it was fun seeing her and eric, though. they gave us a tour of their bonus room-- it's done, and it's great! i can't wait to stay there next month. :) and we gave them a tour of our toy-infested living room... a familiar sight for them. :) by the time we really got it going, it was time for bed... so we didn't talk long. but we decided that we'll have to do that again soon with the kids. how fun! now i'll be able to see video of their sweet baby #3 in september! yay!!!! here's a screen shot of what the ichat av looked like... my heart is happy now that i've seen my long lost friend. :) another month seemed so long away.
