A couple of weeks ago we went on individual dates with the kids. We had a mommy/John date and a daddy/Clara date. We let each child pick a lunch place and then what we were to do. John and I went to Longhorn and Burt and Clara went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Then somehow Clara talked Daddy into taking her to Chuck E. Cheese on a Saturday. John and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods, Toys R' Us, and Wal-mart. (We were in search of a Dodge Charger like the General Lee.)

Even though Abe didn't go on a date, Clara felt the need to include him in the pictures.
