Hi, [Custodial Dad].
Want to chat by phone with [daughter] this Sunday at 12 noon?  I will put the call in to you.
I think it would be a good step to let her know that you will be talking to her on the computer.

As a basis to re-connect:
I will mail you a packet of her art/ school work this week.
Would you kindly send the pictures of [daughter] with her new family to us this week?
Additionally, she loves to put business cards in her purse with “pretty gift cards”(no money credited!  How cute!) from check-out counters.  You are welcome to send those also.

She will be delighted!  We talk about framing her photos from your visit. We are crafting picture frames of ‘beads and glitter’ with anticipation!

God Bless.
[The Ex]

Hi, [Custodial Dad].

Re: Web-Cam
[email] is perfect. 

Let me know when you are ready to start.  We can figure out the details.

[daughter] will surely enjoy the video-contact option!

Re: Your schedule change in March

You do not have to schedule with me to visit [daughter], though I appreciate your consideration.

[visitation site superviser] at [visitation site] will contact me.   You can just call [visitation site superviser].

I will bring [daughter] anytime you can visit.

Kind regards to Mrs. [last name] and the children.

God Bless.

My company has shifted a meeting and I will NOT be capable of coming to town in March... if we had a regular contact (i.e. phone etc) schedule with [daughter] I am sure that we might have worked an alternative out, however since my contact is still so limited I am hamstrung

[daughter] would enjoy having the time with you, I’m sure.
You are welcome to cook a meal with her in the kitchen or I can bring her favorite Lasagna from her favorite restaurant for you both to enjoy for dinner.  (I’ll even bring chocolate cake, which she recalls eating with us as a toddler.)
You can write and/or [visitation site superviser] will let me know the details.
Warm regards to Mrs.[last name] and your little darlings.
Kindly,
[The Ex]

I will be in town later on the 24th (I believe it MAY be too late in the evening for [daughter] to visit, however; may be a phone call???) and then all day on the 25th I have left a message for [visitation site superviser] [visitation site superviser] regards my visiting with my daughter and wish to/can/will make appropriate lunch and/or dinner arrangements for an extended visit that day.... please advise me on her favored menu...

My mother appreciated the gift and is available for her granddaughter to call her at any time ([XXX]) [xxx]-5726

[daughter] just left and we are headed back home and I wanted to thank you
immensly for allowing this visit to take place.  It was beyond a happy
moment for the entire family.  We were able to take a picture of her
and her family and I would be grateful if you would give her the copy
I am mailing to her.  I adored and will treasure the presents and
picture!
As always you may let [daughter] call me at her convience, if it would make
your life easier I could send a children’s phone for her to use at my
expense.  Just let me know if that is acceptable.
thanks again

I’m looking forward to chatting with [daughter] at noon today.  Please use my cell phone number, in case you lost it, it is ([XXX]) [xxx] - 5480.  Should I mention the web-cam - is that something you and [daughter] have already discussed?  I’d hate to mention it only to have [daughter] disappointed.
I am looking forward to her Art Work; what grade is [daughter] in?  I would love to know how she is doing at school, is there a way to put me in contact with her teacher(s)?  I think by getting to know different aspects of her life I will have more to discuss with her than asking how her day is!  As you are aware, the typical response from a child is “Good” without clarification.

I will send a package out to [daughter] this week.  Shall I continue to use her Great-Grandmother’s address?

In case you missed my previously email, I am attaching it here for pertinent web cam information:

[The Ex],

Just to reconfirm, I am all set to begin web chats with [daughter] as I
have been for the past week.  We are using [email], as agreed, my user
id is [daughter]sDaDa
I would love to begin this immediately.  My suggested time was 7:45
p.m. unless it interferes with [daughter]’s bedtime.    It seems that your
attorney was misinformed stating I had declined and/or refused this
form of communication.  To be perfectly clear, I have and do agree to
this form of communication as  this it is an excellent step at my re-
involvement with [daughter].
I am awaiting [daughter]’s user id and an appropriate time or an agreement
to the above stated time, as it is not feasible to sit waiting online
endlessly, as I’m sure you’ll agree.  Please advise as to when we can
begin communication.
Again, thank you for this offer.  I most certainly appreciate it... and
will appreciate it even more so once when we finally get to use it!

It was wonderful speaking with [daughter] yesterday afternoon; I guess your phone was dying, but the little conversation my daughter and I had was very rewarding. Please let me know ASAP what webcam and/or phone schedule we will be setting up. [daughter] mentioned this week so please let me know what day(s) and what time(s).
Again thank you for intiating these contacts, it’s clear [daughter] was missing out as much as I was

PS I am just re-sending yesterdays e-mail as it has webcam contact info

[The Ex],

The week is nearly over and I received no confirmation as to when the web-cam chats were to take place.  I am saddened as [daughter] sounded so-very-very excited at the notion of using the internet to speak to me and I admittedly was probably just as excited.  I do hope that all is well and nothing unfortunate happened to interfere with the loosely  scheduled contact.
Hopefully we can set something up for possibly this weekend and/or next week.  Please advise me of [daughter]’s availability.  I await your response!

I am trying to “open” the Text Messages you sent this early morning... the one that opened is, I think, [daughter] playing with blocks?!?
As I texted you back though, are those texts supposed to replace the web and/or phone contact that [daughter] and I have been so very looking forward to??!!??
I am again confused by what your intentions are

I was finally able to sit down and download the small thumbnails that you sent with your cell phone this morning.  My phone does not accept multimedia messages so please refrain from using that service as it is costly and inconvenient to do so.  My cell phone does accept email messages and pictures, so if you have the capability to use that format, please do so.
Second, you stated that you would be sending pictures of [daughter] and her school work.  I could not enlarge the picture that was the size of a postage stamp nor could I see what was actually on the papers or her actual work.  I was under the impression that you would be sending actual art and work as opposed to thumbnails and blurry pictures.  My package to [daughter] is on the way and I will include an envelope for you to send some of the work you previously mentioned.  If you require me to return the art and/or school work to you, I will be more than happy to do so.
Lastly, the week is over for all intents and purposes.  I do hope [daughter] was not terribly disappointed with not hearing from me as she sounded very excited when I spoke with her briefly last Sunday.  I was very much looking forward to beginning some sort of regular contact, both for [daughter] and myself. I have missed her tremendously over the past three years and seeing her so briefly in February has only made me miss her more!  From what [daughter] has told me, she has missed me just as much.  I hope that you consider her feelings when scheduling contact in the future.
Thank you for the attempt at sending the school work but I am sorry that I did not receive it well due to size and format.
