This evening my sister and I scrapbooked together via Skype. This way we get to catch up some and we get to work on our pictures of our families. I've scrapbooked since my youngest son was born, who is going to be seven in May. My sister got into scrapbooking when her daughter was born, who is three and a half. Last deployment (which is the scrapbook I'm still working on finishing) my hubby was in Iraq and I moved back home to Pennsylvania. It was a good decision for that season of my life. It was great to be able to hang out with my family and friends again. Anyways, it gave my sister and I an opportunity to hang out more and get some sister time in. She had her daughter about two months before Adam came back from his deployment and we moved back to Oklahoma. So yes, I took tons of pictures, I wanted Adam to be able to experience some of what was going on in our life and I knew being back in Pa was a season of our lives.
My sister and I got together a few times to scrapbook when I lived there. When the deployment was over and I moved back to Oklahoma we made a pact to continue scrapbooking together via Skype. Have I mentioned I love Skype! It's helped keep me and the boys connected to Adam throughout the three deployments we have experienced too. So now I don't have to leave Adam at home with the boys, or get a babysitter for a night out, I simply hop online after the boys are tucked in for the night and pull my laptop out and scrapbooking supplies and wallah! Good times and it doesn't even cost either of us money for some good old quality sister time :)
