far away aunt advice needed
I'm an aunt to three cute kids that live overseas in DHs home country. I always thought that aunts were cool people who did fun stuff with you but it's hard to do that being overseas.
Anyone live far away and an aunt?
Re: far away aunt advice needed
How old are they ? If they are little maybe a customized board of your family ? This would probably work best if you had other family members by you too.

Ah, certainly not in your position, so I can only imagine how hard it must be wildstyle. You've received some good tips about staying in as close as contact as poss.
BUT I did have just a bit of advice that if you guys ever visit home country (& if kids are old enough), it would mean ALOT to them if you carved out some special time when it's just you and H and them. And you guys do whatever they want to do! (Within reason, of course- take them to the zoo or even just a park, etc.) Making the most of whatever time you DO have with them will certainly carve a place in their little memories... Or @ least it did w/ me and my sibs when we had "far away" relatives visit.
My aunt and uncle lived in Europe when I was a kid. We loved the stuff they would mail us! They got us "real" gifts, but also always some junk food from their country. Foreign junk food is better than regular junk food, duh!
