Bob and Matt,
Thanks for the encouragement, guys. Kind of a busy but fun day with the kids. Obviously, a little stressful with my sitch but I'm pleased with the end result.

STBX texted me to talk with kids just before 8pm. S1 was already asleep and D4 was almost sleeping. I decided to wake up D4 and call STBX. I put D4 immediately on speakerphone. They talked for a minute and I translated when she couldn't understand D4. At the end of the call, STBX sincerely thanked me for letting her talk to D4. And then we said goodbye.

I think this system will work great. I won't have to worry about communicating with STBX all day when I'm with the kids so I can just enjoy my time with them. This will allow me to detach and at the same time really savor the moment with my beautiful children. Win win.
