Good morning, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] and [Custodial Dad]!
Thank you for the Build a Bear account. We willl visit the site later today.
Friday call at [resturant]’s was a nice idea. Glad we reached you.
But, as you can see, [daughter] has long -standing relationships with the staff there and is very occupied with socializing and greetings at dinner. We can always try
that time slot again. But my best guess is that time on web at 8am Sundays is focused and great for you guys to all bond.
For the weekend, how is this:
(Please text me via cell phone to let me know.)
1. Saturday call: [Custodial Dad], why don’t you guys call us about 2pm or so? We will answer and you can chat.
2. Saturday web cam: We can do Saturday late afternoon before dinner to finish the boat
building with open time block for the chat, dependent on [daughter]’s wants at the time.
I have set aside the afternoon to be at home to allow time for the web cam session.
3. Sunday regular web cam: 8AM is great!
Breakfast plans at [resturant]’s so... the session is really for [daughter] to send good wishes and kisses to all!
Warm regards,
[The Ex]

Thanks, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
(You are welcome to call me [The Ex] if you choose.)
Enjoy you blessed day also.
I will not be having other children,
so I hope you don’t mind if I randomly send little outfits or books for your little ones.
(I’m a “sale-only” shopper and the prices here are great - $2-3 for famous label children’s clothes!)
I’m glad for a chance to move forward with [daughter]’s adorable family you’ve given her.
Look for photos on Sunday - but ONLY after you open your gift! ;)
We will web with you guys on Sunday AM to stay consistent for the little ones.
God Bless.

Hi, [Custodial Dad] and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
There is a great book recommended by families in similar situations that is just GREAT!
It is full of great ideas for me.
I thought that maybe you guys would like a chance to review it, if you haven’t already.
Here is the ISBN #:0-939894-02-5
Author: George Newman
Publisher: Blossom Valley Press, AZ
e-mail: argonne@azstarnet.com
Let me know if you like it!
Kind regards,
[The Ex]
P.S.
I will post a Father’s Day present from [daughter] in the next two weeks.
Will send email update.
Bye!
God bless.

[Custodial Dad],
I am happy to accommodate your requests for contact.
[daughter] will set the pace and I will follow her lead.
I can continue to offer her opportunities to call you.
She is aware that she can call you at anytime.
When she request to speak with you, we call
Sometimes we reach you- other times she has left messages,
even when we have set times with you.
Relationships do take time to build... let us give her the time she needs.
I will continue to encourage contact through regular (paper) mail and photos sent to you.
She would really appreciate the picture you’ve promised
of the [last name]’s together on your February visit here.
The facts remain that [daughter] loves you and believes that you love her...
Let’s keep moving forward from here.
I think we’d all agree that web chats are going well on Sunday mornings.
God Bless.

Hi, [Custodial Dad] & [spelled incorrectly Step Mother]!
Thanks for setting up the option for “[webcam software]” downloading, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother]!
We are on for 8AM this morning.
This regular schedule seems reliable for both of us (I”m thinking the Mom’s!)
I hope to get a glimpse of the little ones today.
FYI: You may nor may not have a long sesion with [daughter] today...
When I said: “Remmeber [daughter], we web chat ith Dad tomorow...
[daughter] said... “ Ah, maybe later.. not tomorrow...”
So I said:
“ Well Dad has made time for you Sunday morning together ...
and we’ll get to see “little Brother” and “little Sissy”... (and sweet [sibling], of course)....
(Quite honestly.... I want to see the kids!.... pardon the delight... but it’s true:)
I will have her availabe for the chat.
[daughter] had lots of playdates, birthdays and afterschool events this week.
Don’t worry... I remember that you want to have her call..
I have said: “hey, wanna call Dad now”.. a number of times... especially on her way to school.
She said, “ Nah... not right now... maybe later.”
-Then she just moves on to a story...”You know that Liala got three shots...”
(Liala is her teacher’s dog...
She has told me this story about 10 times with the same enthusiam..
so I respond as though I have never heard it before...
Just like the story that Paige went to a Hanna Montana concert!...
Guess she is a six year old, huh?)
I will be sure to put her through to you via phone, chat, “[webcam software]” this week also.
God Bless.
See you a in few minutes!

She says se has two Mom’s.
She already identifies you fondly as her “other mother.” (How cute!)

See you at 8AM on web cam!
Enjoy!

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
Got your e-mail just now. (It is 10:50PM on Saturday night.)
No worries.
String of misunderstandings I would say; wouldn’t you?
[daughter] build her poodle and I put money on every gift card
available in the store so she could have the picture cards
in her purse!
It was cute and she was happy.
She was glad that you went on the site for her.
[daughter] can do virtual games and dress up via computer with you and the kids in real time on your chats.
You have offered a great option for fun communication!
Hats off to you, Dad! (Kid is happy and loves you...
let’s move forward.)
Please understand there is NO expectation or obligation to spend any money on her.
[daughter] appreciates your time.
Got no text confirming Saturday cam in PM.
[daughter] wanted to sign up for skating lessons this session at the
ice rink and there is no phone service inside- beats me why... thick walls- insulation?
No e-mail access & no mail service on my cell phone when out.
(That’s why I ask for text messages.)
[daughter] wanted to stay at Build a Bear for most of the afternoon.
Sent you photos via phone mail since I did not know of any other options for us today.
8AM tomorrow is great...
If you guys choose, the boat kit with hammer is right here waiting for you to finish the building together.
Photos from [daughter] to [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] attached in this message.
Just to give a basis for them to connect.
Enjoy the snapshots. [daughter] would love to talk about them, I’m sure.
Good night.
God bless.

Good morning, [Custodial Dad] and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Glad you got the package for Grandma and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Please, let Grandma know she can also web cam with
[daughter] before mass on Sundays- anytime she is ready.
Glad [daughter] was able to reach you before school on
Thursday morning to announce that earrings are in!
Thanks for mirroring her enthusiasm.
A call tonight ~6PM is great- thanks for agreeing.
Before bed at 7:30PM Saturday night web chat
should be fun for you guys!
You get to see “Jose” (joe-zee) robot! (A [daughter] build!)
To be consistent,
let’s keep the Sunday AM web cam session so [daughter]
can see the “Cute Crew” and say Happy Mother’s Day
to [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Maybe you can open the package while on cam together?
See if it is feasible. Any way it works out is OK.
[daughter] will be delighted for it all!
No rush, but FYI- we will have Sunday breakfast out at
[resturant]’s so take your time to chat on Saturday.
Sailboat you started building with [daughter] is ready to
be finished; Hammer and all!
(Father’s Day is around the corner...
thought you might like to have it as a gift...
Please act surprised when she sends it to you!)
Warm regards,
[The Ex]

Hello, [last name]s!
Glad we caught you to talk with [daughter] this week, [Custodial Dad].
Friday was just to share her fair at school.
She was excited, so we thought you’d want to hear her version of things!
Saturday was just a post-pinata joy!
[daughter] thought it was great that you had a similar day of birthdays and car rides!
After the call she quickly revisited our PM agenda of craft chopping and (more) pizza!
Seems like the phone calls are fun! Glad for you both.
Thanks for your texts and emails this week.
We want to reach you when you are available to [daughter].
But, please understand that it is OK if we call impromptu and you are busy.
[daughter] and I have talked about time frames and activities for you guys at home/ work, etc.
She’s understanding as she also watches the time to secure timely arrival to play dates, birthdays, Children’s Theater, etc.!
I respect that 7AM is not good to extend Sunday morning and that Saturday is not a good day for you at this time.
Please let us know when/if that changes.
We will continue to call you for [daughter] to chat.
At this juncture, calls to you are my suggestion as I evaluate her enthusiasm about something in her day. I say, “Hey, wanna tell Dad?” So then we try your phone.
I have made sure [daughter] has had a strong belief in your care and love for her.
She knows that you not having time at a random call is separate from that.
And I think you do a good job of saying: “Daddy really wants to listen to your story, but can I call you back..or call me later etc.” It is good.
[daughter] just states to me: “We can call Dad later, Mom.” or “He’ll call back soon.”
For the most part, it seems that it is working well.
Well, on to today... sending attached instructions for a boat building mini kit.
Thought you may want the option of building it with [daughter]. (Not mandatory at all.)
Check e-mail for photos later this week.
See you at 8AM.
God Bless.

[daughter] was happy to have 2 -way communication last Sunday through [email] messenger.
I will again use [the ex email]@[email].com, since it is working well.
Will gladly accommodate any “tech-updates” from you guys.
Why don’t we extend the time for the web chat?
[daughter] is awake very early in the morning.
I will be happy to facilitate your web session with her at 7AM Sunday, beginning May 4th.
She will be delighted! As it is, she wakes up and we await the set 8AM time for her to connect with you all.
Warm greetings to all.

I will give her the option of web cam for Saturday and Sunday of next week.
Let me know time for possible Saturday.
We can try to do both days this week.

Please take a photo of yourself for [daughter] to have.
As I have shared with you guys on e-mail, we are putting together more “[daughter]’s family” scrapbooks.
We gladly await pictures and any little stories you want to have written under the photos.
There is a way to have the books duplicated.
I will look into that and will get you a copy when we have it all put together.

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
[daughter] was glad to be able to chat with the kids and you this morning!
(I overheard your other little Princess and Prince- how cute they are!)
I’m glad you were able to color with her at the PBS kids site.
I thought she’d enjoy “live” web interaction with “Dad” & her favorite Dragon Tales characters.
Figured the Little Ones could enjoy the colorful pictures and familiar faces, too.
Of course, we can try again before Sunday.
There should be nothing wrong with wed cam set up here.
Clearly, you can guess that I’ve had two professional web consults advise me,
since technology often needs expert verification!
Anyhow, enjoy your day together. Thanks for taking [daughter]’s second call
We changed our plans to a later mass so you could talk longer today.
Just thought you might be free the 2nd round to get on-line with her. She was delighted!
God Bless. Warm regards to Mrs. [last name] and the sweet Little Ones.
We’re off to [city in other state]!

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
I understand from your e-mail just now
that you will not be able to web-cam
today at 8AM,
as scheduled with you in [daughter]’s call to you last Sunday(3/30/08).
Let’s just stick to e-mail for future scheduling. OK?
I can have [daughter] call your cell phone around 8:15AM.
No worries. [daughter] will understand the change in format. It’s OK.
For next week(4/13/08), I will have [daughter] available for web cam at 8:00AM on Sunday.
Please let me know by Friday if you will not be available.
We can plan to have breakfast out instead.
( I’ve told [daughter]... she sends “hugs and kisses” to the [home state] home crew!)
Thanks much.
God Bless.

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
I am happy we could set up this web-cam session. I think it is a good option.
I’m sure [daughter] will delight in the web-chat(!) this morning at 8AM.
Hope your little guys will be there to say hello to [daughter].
I understand that you were not able to enlarge [daughter]’s artwork and schoolwork I sent you.
From a tech consult, I understood that digital images would be easier to get and send
(up-loads from phones to computers, etc.).
I will gladly try to e-mail pictures , if you can get those images well, Let me know.
For now, I will have [daughter] show you her work on the web chat this morning.
I will then follow up with a package or e-mailed samples early this week,
including the packet for next Sunday’s web chat.
[daughter]’s work sent to you is for you to share with Grand-ma and keep.
We will be off to church with [daughter]’s classmates at 8:30AM.
I will have her dressed and ready to go, so you can have as much time on-line until then.
We/You can add/change chat schedules as we need to- as we go.
For now, I think this will be a good time slot.
Kind regards to Mrs. [last name] and your children.
[daughter] will see you at 8!
Enjoy!

While I welcome your suggestions ... and I am sure this is a fine book... you are dancing around my request for a set time to speak with my daughter ... something that
will eventually be a court order. I am looking to get a regular pattern of contact so all her cute stories, daily activities and even minor set backs can become an
integral part of our lives (hers, mine, her siblings, [Step Mother]s’, yours, etc) you are also ignoring my request for a CONFIRMED mailing address.... I must seem to
be a scatter-brain to my daughter as so far I have promised her a package that has yet to appear and very recently an invitation to a website (Build-a-Bear) became my
not getting her some gift card(s)... so while I appreciate any suggestions for literature, books, websites or what-all ... I think the more real and immediate issue
that we CAN resolve right now, here through this e-mail string is:
A) a set call or web chat time (daily)
B) a place for me to mail her a package
C) re-statement of [daughter]s’ ability to call me at any time day or night
Again, I thank you for the book suggestion and I look forward to us resolving the call/web chat schedule

I thank you for the suggestion but I have to say that this situation does not really warrant a book about being a “long distance father.” In the scope of the situation, I’m sure you’ll agree that [Custodial Dad] has not had any chance to parent [daughter] in over three years and this book would best be reserved for when you allow the chance for him to be more \involved. Please do not be offended as that is strictly my outside observation and as a mother who shares her son with his father. I do understand the sentimate but in the snipits I did read it is more to do in a situation where both parents are included in a childs life and its clear that you and [Custodial Dad] are not there as yet. My hopes is that by this summer, the sentimate would be more applicable to [Custodial Dad].
If you are agreeable, I do have several books on coparenting and step families that I could share with you. I understand your hesitation in moving forward but
understand that in some cases you may be transferring your hesitation onto [daughter] thus resulting in her being reluctant in wanting to call more frequently. I know
with my own son, he needed constant reassurance by me that calling his dad was a good thing. Fortunately, now he has his own phone and calls whenever he sees fit. It
also helps that his father has more than a passing knowledge of his schooling and activities and can draw out a conversation where it may lag. By allowing [Custodial
Dad] more of a chance to assist in parenting [daughter], you’ll be ensuring a greater success at their relationship in the near future which I hope is your goaX
I’m not sure if you remember my first email to you back in 2007 but please understand my only goal and involvement has to do with my husband and his daughter. While I
think its endearing that [daughter] refers to me as you called me, her “other mother” I have no intention of over stepping my bounds (whatever [daughter] draws them
at) and if I offended you in anyway please accept my sincerest apologies. Again, simply my observations.
Have a fabulous day!

Now that I am home, I’d like to share the books that I have read dealing with custody, co-parenting and step families that are present in our home library. I also have about 6 or 7 books that I purchased for specifically for [daughter] when I thought she would be visiting us and will hold onto those for her to read while she is here as such, I did not include those.
Please note that some of these are books that I read that may or may not pertain exactly to this situation.
Again, while I truly understand the sentiment by recommending the book, I think by allowing a true attempt for [Custodial Dad] to co-parent [daughter] together with
you, you both will see success sooner than by continually blocking or sidelining his attempts to get to know his daughter after so many years. Without having
fundamental knowledge of where [daughter] is at in life (i.e. her home, her school and her friends), its a difficult situation on which to build a relationship. I can
only speak from the perspective as a “custodial mother” and what the law (and my conscious) requires of me, I do hope that you will see that my opinion comes from a
good place and a place of having “been-there-done-that.” I think we are all looking towards a better, brighter future with and for [daughter]. Watching this
situation unfold since your relocation to [other state], I applaud your recent efforts but again, in my opinion, you could be doing so much more for your daughter.
Of course, this is all just my opinion and since you addressed the letter specifically to me, I feel as though you want my opinion or feedback. If I erred, please
excuse me and feel free to ignore my message as you have done so in the past.

[Custodial Dad],
I am happy to accommodate your requests for contact.
[daughter] will set the pace and I will follow her lead.
I can continue to offer her opportunities to call you.
She is aware that she can call you at anytime.
When she request to speak with you, we call
Sometimes we reach you- other times she has left messages,
even when we have set times with you.
Relationships do take time to build... let us give her the time she needs.
I will continue to encourage contact through regular (paper) mail and photos sent to you.
She would really appreciate the picture you’ve promised
of the [last name]’s together on your February visit here.
The facts remain that [daughter] loves you and believes that you love her...
Let’s keep moving forward from here.
I think we’d all agree that web chats are going well on Sunday mornings.
God Bless.

Hi, [Custodial Dad] & [spelled incorrectly Step Mother]!
Thanks for setting up the option for “[webcam software]” downloading, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother]!
We are on for 8AM this morning.
This regular schedule seems reliable for both of us (I”m thinking the Mom’s!)
I hope to get a glimpse of the little ones today.
FYI: You may nor may not have a long sesion with [daughter] today...
When I said: “Remmeber [daughter], we web chat ith Dad tomorow...
[daughter] said... “ Ah, maybe later.. not tomorrow...”
So I said:
“ Well Dad has made time for you Sunday morning together ...
and we’ll get to see “little Brother” and “little Sissy”... (and sweet [sibling], of course)....
(Quite honestly.... I want to see the kids!.... pardon the delight... but it’s true:)
I will have her availabe for the chat.
[daughter] had lots of playdates, birthdays and afterschool events this week.
Don’t worry... I remember that you want to have her call..
I have said: “hey, wanna call Dad now”.. a number of times... especially on her way to school.
She said, “ Nah... not right now... maybe later.”
-Then she just moves on to a story...”You know that Liala got three shots...”
(Liala is her teacher’s dog...
She has told me this story about 10 times with the same enthusiam..
so I respond as though I have never heard it before...
Just like the story that Paige went to a Hanna Montana concert!...
Guess she is a six year old, huh?)
I will be sure to put her through to you via phone, chat, “[webcam software]” this week also.
God Bless.
See you a in few minutes!

She already identifies you fondly as her “other mother.” (How cute!)

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
Got your e-mail just now. (It is 10:50PM on Saturday night.)
No worries.
String of misunderstandings I would say; wouldn’t you?
[daughter] build her poodle and I put money on every gift card
available in the store so she could have the picture cards
in her purse!
It was cute and she was happy.
She was glad that you went on the site for her.
[daughter] can do virtual games and dress up via computer with you and the kids in real time on your chats.
You have offered a great option for fun communication!
Hats off to you, Dad! (Kid is happy and loves you...
let’s move forward.)
Please understand there is NO expectation or obligation to spend any money on her.
[daughter] appreciates your time.
Got no text confirming Saturday cam in PM.
[daughter] wanted to sign up for skating lessons this session at the
ice rink and there is no phone service inside- beats me why... thick walls- insulation?
No e-mail access & no mail service on my cell phone when out.
(That’s why I ask for text messages.)
[daughter] wanted to stay at Build a Bear for most of the afternoon.
Sent you photos via phone mail since I did not know of any other options for us today.
8AM tomorrow is great...
If you guys choose, the boat kit with hammer is right here waiting for you to finish the building together.
Photos from [daughter] to [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] attached in this message.
Just to give a basis for them to connect.
Enjoy the snapshots. [daughter] would love to talk about them, I’m sure.
Good night.
God bless.

Good morning, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] and [Custodial Dad]!
Thank you for the Build a Bear account. We willl visit the site later today.
Friday call at [resturant]’s was a nice idea. Glad we reached you.
But, as you can see, [daughter] has long -standing relationships with the staff there and is very occupied with socializing and greetings at dinner. We can always try
that time slot again. But my best guess is that time on web at 8am Sundays is focused and great for you guys to all bond.
For the weekend, how is this:
(Please text me via cell phone to let me know.)
1. Saturday call: [Custodial Dad], why don’t you guys call us about 2pm or so? We will answer and you can chat.
2. Saturday web cam: We can do Saturday late afternoon before dinner to finish the boat
building with open time block for the chat, dependent on [daughter]’s wants at the time.
I have set aside the afternoon to be at home to allow time for the web cam session.
3. Sunday regular web cam: 8AM is great!
Breakfast plans at [resturant]’s so... the session is really for [daughter] to send good wishes and kisses to all!
Warm regards,
[The Ex]

so I hope you don’t mind if I randomly send little outfits or books for your little ones.
(I’m a “sale-only” shopper and the prices here are great - $2-3 for famous label children’s clothes!)
I’m glad for a chance to move forward with [daughter]’s adorable family you’ve given her.
Look for photos on Sunday - but ONLY after you open your gift! ;)
We will web with you guys on Sunday AM to stay consistent for the little ones.

Good morning, [Custodial Dad] and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Glad you got the package for Grandma and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Please, let Grandma know she can also web cam with
[daughter] before mass on Sundays- anytime she is ready.
Glad [daughter] was able to reach you before school on
Thursday morning to announce that earrings are in!
Thanks for mirroring her enthusiasm.
A call tonight ~6PM is great- thanks for agreeing.
Before bed at 7:30PM Saturday night web chat
should be fun for you guys!
You get to see “Jose” (joe-zee) robot! (A [daughter] build!)
To be consistent,
let’s keep the Sunday AM web cam session so [daughter]
can see the “Cute Crew” and say Happy Mother’s Day
to [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].
Maybe you can open the package while on cam together?
See if it is feasible. Any way it works out is OK.
[daughter] will be delighted for it all!
No rush, but FYI- we will have Sunday breakfast out at
[resturant]’s so take your time to chat on Saturday.
Sailboat you started building with [daughter] is ready to
be finished; Hammer and all!
(Father’s Day is around the corner...
thought you might like to have it as a gift...
Please act surprised when she sends it to you!)
Warm regards,

Hello, [last name]s!
Glad we caught you to talk with [daughter] this week, [Custodial Dad].
Friday was just to share her fair at school.
She was excited, so we thought you’d want to hear her version of things!
Saturday was just a post-pinata joy!
[daughter] thought it was great that you had a similar day of birthdays and car rides!
After the call she quickly revisited our PM agenda of craft chopping and (more) pizza!
Seems like the phone calls are fun! Glad for you both.
Thanks for your texts and emails this week.
We want to reach you when you are available to [daughter].
But, please understand that it is OK if we call impromptu and you are busy.
[daughter] and I have talked about time frames and activities for you guys at home/ work, etc.
She’s understanding as she also watches the time to secure timely arrival to play dates, birthdays, Children’s Theater, etc.!
I respect that 7AM is not good to extend Sunday morning and that Saturday is not a good day for you at this time.
Please let us know when/if that changes.
We will continue to call you for [daughter] to chat.
At this juncture, calls to you are my suggestion as I evaluate her enthusiasm about something in her day. I say, “Hey, wanna tell Dad?” So then we try your phone.
I have made sure [daughter] has had a strong belief in your care and love for her.
She knows that you not having time at a random call is separate from that.
And I think you do a good job of saying: “Daddy really wants to listen to your story, but can I call you back..or call me later etc.” It is good.
[daughter] just states to me: “We can call Dad later, Mom.” or “He’ll call back soon.”
For the most part, it seems that it is working well.
Well, on to today... sending attached instructions for a boat building mini kit.
Thought you may want the option of building it with [daughter]. (Not mandatory at all.)
Check e-mail for photos later this week.
See you at 8AM.
God Bless.

[daughter] was happy to have 2 -way communication last Sunday through [email] messenger.
I will again use [the ex email]@[email].com, since it is working well.
Will gladly accommodate any “tech-updates” from you guys.
Why don’t we extend the time for the web chat?
[daughter] is awake very early in the morning.
I will be happy to facilitate your web session with her at 7AM Sunday, beginning May 4th.
She will be delighted! As it is, she wakes up and we await the set 8AM time for her to connect with you all.
Warm greetings to all.

I will give her the option of web cam for Saturday and Sunday of next week.
Let me know time for possible Saturday.
We can try to do both days this week.

We gladly await pictures and any little stories you want to have written under the photos.
There is a way to have the books duplicated.

(I overheard your other little Princess and Prince- how cute they are!)
I’m glad you were able to color with her at the PBS kids site.
I thought she’d enjoy “live” web interaction with “Dad” & her favorite Dragon Tales characters.
Figured the Little Ones could enjoy the colorful pictures and familiar faces, too.
Of course, we can try again before Sunday.
There should be nothing wrong with wed cam set up here.
Clearly, you can guess that I’ve had two professional web consults advise me,
since technology often needs expert verification!
Anyhow, enjoy your day together. Thanks for taking [daughter]’s second call
We changed our plans to a later mass so you could talk longer today.
Just thought you might be free the 2nd round to get on-line with her. She was delighted!
God Bless. Warm regards to Mrs. [last name] and the sweet Little Ones.
We’re off to [city in other state]!

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
I understand from your e-mail just now
that you will not be able to web-cam
today at 8AM,
as scheduled with you in [daughter]’s call to you last Sunday(3/30/08).
Let’s just stick to e-mail for future scheduling. OK?
I can have [daughter] call your cell phone around 8:15AM.
No worries. [daughter] will understand the change in format. It’s OK.
For next week(4/13/08), I will have [daughter] available for web cam at 8:00AM on Sunday.
Please let me know by Friday if you will not be available.
We can plan to have breakfast out instead.
( I’ve told [daughter]... she sends “hugs and kisses” to the [home state] home crew!)
Thanks much.
God Bless.

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
I am happy we could set up this web-cam session. I think it is a good option.
I’m sure [daughter] will delight in the web-chat(!) this morning at 8AM.
Hope your little guys will be there to say hello to [daughter].
I understand that you were not able to enlarge [daughter]’s artwork and schoolwork I sent you.
From a tech consult, I understood that digital images would be easier to get and send
(up-loads from phones to computers, etc.).
I will gladly try to e-mail pictures , if you can get those images well, Let me know.
For now, I will have [daughter] show you her work on the web chat this morning.
I will then follow up with a package or e-mailed samples early this week,
including the packet for next Sunday’s web chat.
[daughter]’s work sent to you is for you to share with Grand-ma and keep.
We will be off to church with [daughter]’s classmates at 8:30AM.
I will have her dressed and ready to go, so you can have as much time on-line until then.
We/You can add/change chat schedules as we need to- as we go.
For now, I think this will be a good time slot.
Kind regards to Mrs. [last name] and your children.
[daughter] will see you at 8!
Enjoy!
