I think Reese and Alyssa resemble each other but it will be interesting to see who the new baby will look like more. Alyssa is still very much a mini Bobby look alike.
I have always been jealous that Bobby gets to leave the house and work a 40 hour work week and solely focus on his work with no distractions of the kids or housework. Working from home is great and I LOVE the flexibility--I wouldn't have it any other way or ever do anything else. BUT I fit my 40 hour work week around nap, meal times, and play dates. I often tell Bobby it is like me sending the kids with him in his squad car and see how productive he can be. So, I decided since Alyssa is getting more and more active and needed something to do that preschool full day twice a week would be good for everyone :) Those same two days (Mon and Wed) my neighbor and friend from church is watching Reese. She already has two kids at home so she won't be able to watch the new baby but it gives me time to find someone before she arrives. It was so nice today to be able to answer the phone and make calls without screaming in the background. I got more done in less time and Alyssa loved her teacher and her new friends. She brought her new Dora backpack and told me about for day for the entire 4 hours leading up to bedtime.

Wow, they are growing up so big! We miss you guys! It sounds like things are going so good for you. We hope all is well!
Men just don't get it do they? I know how that is. They think its so easy to take care of kids and that its not an actual "job" and that they need breaks but we don't because they have a "real job". Then when they actually take care of them by themselves they are so stressed out by it and expect you to bow down to them for "babysitting". Can you tell I'm bitter? :)
