The wonder of Skype

Here's our little family, consisting of our only child. and his two sons, whom unfortunately, we don't see very often - maybe once a year, as they live in Taiwan.
We normally speak on Skype most weeks, but because of Chinese New Year and one thing and another, we haven't seen them to speak to for about 3 weeks, so we managed to have a chat today for about an hour.
The little one is only 9 months old, and his brother is 4 years old. The last time that we saw them for real was last July when we were over in Taiwan, so we can't wait for May when they will be visiting us in the UK (the first time to England for the youngest).
Our daughter-in-law, who is lovely and extremely photogenic, was out when we Skyped today, so she is not on here.
The red sign above our son's shoulder shows the symbols for the Chinese "Happy New Year" but unfortunately it is a photo of a photo and you can't read it properly (if you could read Chinese in the first place that is).
Our eldest grandson started his new school this week, so was very excited to tell us all about it.
Hector (Bedlington on the floor) was bored with the whole Skype thing by this stage.
Long Live Skype - it brings us, and families all over the world, together.
