I'm a wee bit sad. This morning is our last time with J in his role as "househusband." He's just about to start his new job (which is awesome and exciting), but I'm a little sad that he won't be around so much. We've had a lot of fun during the time that he's been home - even though I know that he has been a little bored at times (but such is the life of a stay-at-home parent, right?).
Our family schedule is slowing morphing and changing. J and I both need get up much earlier (boo!), which means that we need to start going to bed earlier. In turn, that means that J and I won't have so much time together in the evenings (after Sam goes to bed). We're going to have to put Sam to bed earlier too, so that he can wake up in time for his preschool that meets twice a week. (Sam is absolutely thrilled to go to school.) But this is all for the greater good, I suppose. It just means that J, Sam and I need to maximize on the waking hours that we have together.
Really, we are excited for 2011 and the prospects that this new schedule/job will bring. But I am glad that we got to have J around the house for a few months. What a fun time we had.

It is sad, but Sam will LOVE preschool and the loss of sleep is...well, painful but seems inevitable with 2 working parents. Hooray for Shangri-La and teaching and preschool!!
I saw J on Wednesday night and realized just how long it's been. I'm excited to catch up! Lots of new adventures in store for all of you this year.
That was Carrie, not Matt.
I hope you enjoyed your last morning. :)
i hear you. since i've started working full-time, john and i see less of each other on a daily basis than we ever have.
The title of this post kills me: "end of fun". Ha ha ha. I'm sorry the fun is over, but hopeful that you and J will find a way to sneak some in from time to time. ;)
I didn't realize that he was home for a few months. How great!
Good luck with the early to bed, early to rise thing. I have to do it because Sophie is an early riser...and I'm so not a fan!
I can imagine that must have been a tough transition. I only had Stephen home for one month with his paternity leave but it was still hard having him go back to work! The house is just emptier with only me and the kids. :)
