So I feel like the "Little old lady who lived in a shoe" sometimes. When I just had Harmon it was easy to really find that quality time with him. Now that there are three of them though, everyone is always competing for attention and it feels like there is not enough of me to go around at times. So the solution I'm finding is to take each one for special one on one time. Last week I took Rachel to the Halloween store, Harmon to Walgreens, and Miriam and I ate lunch with Callum at Sam's Club (Rachel crashed at the end).
Each of the kids just really eat up this one on one time. They need it. They chatter a lot, especially Harmon. Rachel loves to run me around ragged and Cally likes to spend the time giggling. They are always just really happy to have a few moments and be the only one in my universe. It means a lot to them and me too. I learn something about each child on these dates. I fall in love with them a little more. Each is a wonderful date!

Child time is awesome, isn't it? And oh so important. Glad that you are able to fit even a little time in with them.
