Elise gets to see her grandparents and aunts on a somewhat regular basis, thanks to Skype. Skype doesn't always work perfectly-- sometimes the picture is laggy or the sound falters or the call gets dropped-- but overall it's well worth the hassle.
Elise even got to Skype with her future husband tonight. And ooooh, there is no denying that she likes him. She gets all flirty when she sees him, laughing and smiling and bouncing around.
Distances don't seem so long when you can see the people that you're talking to in real time. One day I'll tell Elise about how when I was her age, all we had to talk to people with were telephones. With no cameras! And we had to pay PER MINUTE to talk to people long distance on the phone!
Can you imagine?!
