A family update

Bill is working for Gentle Dentle and enjoys his co-workers and patients. We are trying to decide where we want to spend the rest of our lives; it is (at this moment in time) down to North Carolina, Colorado, and Arizona. The decision is stressful for Bill.
Michelle is back to full time as a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines. She works Sun-Tues on the pm shift; which means that she checks in for work around 2pm on Sunday and returns home late Tuesday night.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Who takes care of Baby Wilson while mom is away???*** Bill is a wonderful dad who takes over Sunday afternoon. For the next three days Bill tries to teach Wilson how to be a man. They nap, pass gas, watch sports, practice walking (Wilson, not Bill), pass gas, wear clothes that mom disapproves of, and pass gas. Michelle is grateful for all that Bill does, Bill is grateful for all that Michelle does (the rest of the week), and Wilson loves the time that he spends with daddy.
While Bill is working on Monday and Tuesday, Wilson goes over to wonderful Jodi's house to play with her children; he loves them and Jodi insists that they love him.
It is currently a wonderful set up for us, besides maintaining benefits (medical, dental, flight), Bill gets some bonding time, Michelle gets a little more sleep, Wilson gets to play with other children, and we all appreciate each other a little more.
***Truly, Bill and Michelle both work hard to care for Wilson (it is usually a tag team effort), and we are in constant amazement at how single parents manage.
