Every so often I manage to take out each of the kids on their own “date.”

This morning Paul and I held hands on the way to the bagel shop.

We went to get his haircut

and these moments are to give individual attention that is sometimes needed in a family of five.

I really love going out with my oldest little man

even when he asks a seemingly endless stream of questions about Ninja Turtles living in the sewer, climbing into manholes, and visitng river bottoms.
