What are some ways you have used to keep in touch regularly w/ your grandkids?

When my granddaughter was two, I gave her a little photo album w/ pics of all her family...mom, dad, grandparents [all five of us], great-grandmoms, pets, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., which she had met. Then when she was away from anyone, she could be reminded by looking at the pictures. She would go through the book and name everyone. This really helped when she would see us again...and perhaps recognize our faces.

Oh wow! Where do I start? I have five girls, my oldest (25) moved to Washington State over a year ago. Her husband is in the army. We have not seen her or our first grandbaby, she is now 7 months old. We live in Alabama almost 3000 miles away. Before she left we seen her at least twice a week or more. We have not been able to go out there because, money is tight and I have panic disorder and am scared to travel. We have offerd to pay for her and the baby to fly home for a week or two,but her husband don't want them to come without him. So, I am trying to stay strong. Our 2nd daughter is in and out on drugs. Our 3rd, is an hour away just got married. The twins (14) are still home:).

We use our webcam and get to see our gandkids on the computer It almost feels like a live visit except we can't hug them.

I did record the Christmas Hallmark book, which the kids read here and now at home. They like it a lot. Now there is a new one...It was a good idea! wish I had thought of it sooner and worked for Hallmark.

I am anxious to get the Hallmark "Night Before Christmas recordable book. Then both the kids can listen to a story read to them by Grandma Gege anytime. I hope they come out w/ other titles after the holidays!
