scheduling phone calls?

Actually, it could easily be every Sunday. 11:00 AM where she would be would be 9-10 PM where dad would be. That's workable....or it could be alternated too.

True. I was trying to allow for church schedules, or sleepovers or whatever. It may be difficult to have the child available EVERY Sunday, while every 3rd or something like that could be assured.

I hope that dad is willing to do the 6 AM thing, because that really is ideal. I also hope that he gets the webcam. He could even help them with their homework that way. It could be very real interaction.

I am reluctant to commit to a schedule in which we would be tied up at home every Sunday for half a day waiting for a call, although I can understand dad not wanting to get up at 6 a.m. on a weekend. 8 or 9 a.m. on Sunday would make it 6 or 7 on Saturday at his house.
We are early risers in any case, so that wouldn't be hard for us.

Yes, I agree about the webcam completely. I was also thinking of having my daughter do a blog or livejournal and post pictures, etc. on a regular basis so that he (as well as other friends and family) could check in and see what is going on during our year away.
