Welcome, Jane. I have three grandchildren, all of whom live a long way away from me. My two sons chose to live close to their in-laws, so the in-laws see my grandkids daily. I think the web cam is a good idea, wish I'd had one when the grandkids were babies. I talk to them on the phone and they have pictures of me. They all visited here a little over a year ago, so they at least know who I am. As far as the Easter present, do what your heart tells you. My sons and dils always tell me what works and what doesn't, so I make adjustments the next time. Problem is that kids grow so fast. Now I just ask what the kids would like to have. For Christmas, my boys put wish lists for the kids on Amazon.com - that really helped!
