Before he used to leave just when we were starting to wake up.. with just enough time for a quick good bye.  Before M used to get home after 7pm.. followed by a quick dinner and bed time.. now he wraps up before 6pm. With the weather warming up M and the boys play outside.. (I sprained my knee so no playing for me)  With no alarms
