Soon-to-be uncle wants to build family relationship

DEAR HARRIETTE: My sister just announced she is having twins. Growing up, I was always close to my siblings, although we are all different ages. There have been times when they were there when I needed them and vice versa. As we approach parenthood age, I want to ensure that love is passed down to our younger generations. I plan on being as present an uncle as I can be, but I live in New York and my sister recently moved to Florida. I will be spending the two weeks surrounding her expected labor date there, but I’m struggling to figure out how to build and maintain a long-distance relationship with babies.
