Halloween and Nana's visit

Halloween was surprisingly warm and the kids enjoyed trick-or-treating without gloves and boots for a change.  Asher, Reese and Emily were Kristoff, Elsa and Anna from Frozen along with 80% of other kids between the ages of 4-8.
 One of the few pictures I got with all 4 of them in it.
 Reese entertaining the post-Trick or treating party- with a rendition of Let it Go (of course)
 Once in awhile I get brave and give Emily and Soren a bath together.  This time it went relatively well.


 Mom (Carolyn) came to visit on her way to Arizona.  We had a great visit and she timed it well as the day after she left it snowed and dropped to -2 degrees.
We celebrated Emily's second birthday last weekend while Mom was in town.  She loved all of her gifts and her cake!
Daddy reading to the kiddos
 Strength training toddler style


 another from Halloween, barely got them all into the same picture

 Soren has started crawling after months of simply rolling everywhere.  He loves his new freedom and has started to explore the entire house.  our new challenge is keeping him from eating every book, paper and plastic toy in sight.
 He's also gotten another tooth (middle top) and is enjoying eating bananas and Cheerios with the big kids
 Reese really likes reading to Emily (and Soren)
