One month old already!

What a day today is! Things got started early around our house as it was the first day of class for EVERYONE. Nick and Amanda are off to St. Peter's Catholic School for another year. Nick is glad to be in Mrs. Hartung's class and Amanda is now a middle schooler with her own locker! Tyler is a senior this year at Marshall High School and Eric is starting classes to become an RN at State Fair Community College.

Adding to the excitement of the day is the fact that Saxon and Ella are now one month old. It's hard to believe they've been here so long. It seems like just yesterday that I was witnessing the magic of their arrival. I guess the three-week stay at St. Luke's Hospital kind of created a time-warp. I know those days sure ran together.


(Ella and Saxon sleep side by side. I think he likes it a bit more than she does)

At any rate, things are going well for us. Gifts continue to arrive and we thank everyone for their thoughtfulness. We've got a ton of clothes now and Lynn Milewski sent us some bouncy seats that were a bit of a challenge to put together, but are very nice to have for the babies.

Callie and I also completely re-arranged our bedroom to allow for more space for Saxon and Ella. It was weird the first night, almost like sleeping in a different house. But at least I got some sleep. Poor Callie continues to man the "night shift" taking care of the twins through the night. Where do I submit the "Mom of the Year" award nominations?

Our next appointment is Wednesday, so we'll see how things are going "officially" then.
