Kalni, good for you for trying to reach out to STBX for your children. Hopefully he'll get it, but at least you can sleep at night knowing you've been trying everything for your little ones.
I'm sure the packing for NY has you excited! Send us pictures of your time w/ your Prince. I'm glad you will be able to meet up finally. We've been suggesting you two get a room for some time. What we didn't know was that room would be in NYC.
