hey meredith!!

i hate that kristi has moved for a million and five reasons.... here are a few...the walk i took with my kids today was just too quiet... if i just have chicken and no veggies for dinner (or vice versa), she is way too far away for us to compile a joint dinner (which we did at least once a week)... i miss just stopping by her house and having her stop by allll the time.... but probably the saddest thing about her moving is that i have not laid one single kiss upon the forehead of that baby of hers.... i cannot believe we have not seen each others' babies yet!!!! it's only a couple of months till we see each other again, but but but--the girls will be so BIG then!! thanks to papa & mama d and the apple computer company, we can now see each other whenever we want. i got the greatest isight camera for christmas, which hooks easily into my laptop. eric's laptop has the isight computer already built in, so we can say hi whenever we want! we did this earlier in the year with our camcorder hooked up to the laptop, but that was a bit inconvenient and time-consuming... and we hadn't done it again since. so i think kristi and i will get on here much more often to chat.

it was so fun to talk to them and to finally share our babies!!!! a few minutes into our conversation, eric said, "uhh, caroline's spitting up".... and a few minutes later, i said, "uhh, meredith's spitting up"...ha. so much for deep conversation, huh?? lydia greeted us with a hilarious hair-do-- she has gotten so big, too! steven had already gone to bed, so we'll have to see him next time. caroline & meredith seemed to just hit it off instantly. :)
