These are a few of the photos from the past few months of chasing kids and watching them grow.
The kids enjoy the playground area at church. 
Quentin has been asking for a cherry tree for the yard. We planted one this summer for him. Not sure which one of them is growing faster....
We visited the zoo one afternoon. They had some fun displays set up. Lars got gobbled up!Quentin enjoyed the tropical area of the displays. 
Quentin created this salt dough witch one morning before school. He is such a little artist!
Quentin in his full armor for Halloween trick-or-treating. Lars had a full match in gold. He took part of it off for a party at the YMCA, then refused to pose for a picture in his full gear!
In an effort to get back into a regular routine of posting family pictures and some of the good food we try feed the children.
