So, B and his wife have worked out a schedule where they alternate weeks with the kids. This seems to be working so far, even though it's only a few weeks in.
The upside is that we get more time together, i.e. we were able to go out of town for the better part of a week and he gets to spend a couple nights every other week at our house. This week - we get him for 4 nights. I am thrilled to death that things are working out this way. I know that some off weeks for him he'll be spending more time in HSV for work, but overall it feels like things are evening out timewise.
A and I are giddy that every other week we get him for a couple nights. It feels like family. It's quality time together. It's just *nice* to come home to one another and know that we can go to sleep and wake up together. I'm so thankful that he chooses to spend some of that time with me. After all, there are other places he could go. I'm glad he feels at home at our house.
This strikes a good balance, I think. We all get to spend time together and I get to spend time alone with each of them. For now - it seems like a regular schedule and I know that it could change, but that's ok. :)
