The kids at the zoo and Easter pics

Hi all. Here are some pics of the kids taken over the last couple of weeks. They had a great time at the zoo and Piddlin' Pottery. We also were able to finally get a pic, well 2 pics(!!), of all the kids together. They are the first professional ones of all of them together since Anderson came home so I am pretty proud of them.

Everyone is finally well around here. Anderson is over the RSV and Nolan's asthma cough has gone away. Anderson got his first two teeth in the last three weeks and is also pulling to a stand!

Enjoy the pictures!
