I live 2,000 miles away from my immediate family, and the closest extended family is an 8 hr drive. I quickly taught my parents that no news from me is good news, so as a result I don't really have a set pattern of contact. I see my family 1-3 times a year, depending on travels and schedules.
I love my family more when I don't interact with them every day and get overwhelmed by personalities and beliefs in direct contradiction to my own. I've told them this to their face, though as my baby sister grows up, she and I have gotten closer.
