Last night it was Lane Stevan’s turn to go on date night with Blake and I!

OH MY HEART.

You all, this is SO fun for us!!

This boy is one word – JOY.

Joy, joy, joy!

He is a deep thinker, a problem solver, and WAY beyond his nine years of age.

Lane wanted to get snacks and head to our favorite coffee shop!

The young man who serves us at this coffee shop was a little suspicious last night!

Who are these people who keep bringing a different child with them for coffee on a Friday night?!!!

So we filled him in. It was super sweet.

Lane wanted coffee – so a decaf Americano it was!

Lane had turned on the tablet, but between eating and talking he hardly played with it at all.

We had just been to a meeting with a builder to continue our look into building a home.

We had talked to this builder last year.

Lane gave us all of his good ideas in case we build a house!

We had also already been shopping to buy this growing boy new shoes!

After the coffee shop we headed to Wal-Mart to get him some socks.

A stop in the toy department is always fun too!

Lane had money to spend.

I LOVE all the differences between our kiddos – but one thing they have in common is none of them like to spend their money.

That’s not a bad thing!!

Lane chose to not get anything and save his money instead!

We got home super late….and then stayed up even later talking to the other kiddos! (Tate and Eliza were in bed).

It was a GREAT DATE – and next up it’s Chad’s turn!!!

He is a fun one too.

One-on-one time is a favorite around here!

I am sure you can see why!!
