Thats too cute!
I know everytime i say Cathie (my sister who lives in Michigan) Simba perks up and looks all over for her, and then when he hears Quathy ( her nick name) on the phone he whines and well crys... its kinda sad but cute at the same time!

Im so happy for you that you get to see him.... i know when i got to see Cathie on X-mas Break i was really happy!
