So, what have we been up to the last week? We've been up to all hours of the night! HA HA HA HA! Ahemm. Sorry about that. The sleep deprivation is starting to affect me a bit more as time goes on.
Saxon and Ella are perfectly healthy and happy, growing well and doing fine. In fact, Saxon is now getting a bit too big for his preemie-sized clothing. We're already moving on to the newborn clothing we've received.

The twins have enjoyed meeting some new people and getting re-acquainted with others. Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa made the trip up from Buckhorn to visit. It was a short stay, but a nice time none-the-less.
Both grandparents got to hold and feed a baby and Grandpa discovered the mystery of baby-induced narcolepsy. This is the condition in which the afflicted person is put to sleep while holding and rocking a baby. The baby may or not also fall asleep.
(Grandpa and Saxon looking awake and alert. Both were sound asleep 30 minutes later.)
Saxon and Ella also got their first tour of a newsroom when they visited the offices of the Marshall Democrat News. Productivity in the newsroom ground to halt when we arrived, but I'd been promising a visit for almost a month now.
I also want to take a moment now to thank everyone who has sent gifts. The babies now have plenty of clothes and we are set for most of our furnishing needs. We have also used about a bajillion of the diapers we have received. All the wipes, baby lotions and shampoos are also coming in handy. Thank you, everyone, we do truly appreciate your kindness. It's been very nice having this stockpile to rely on.
Next up for the family: Labor Day Weekend. We have a few possibilities of what we're going to do, but no matter what, I'm sure it will be an adventure. I've been invited to a press event at Worlds of Fun, the K.C. Renaissance Festival starts this weekend and we haven't been to the Lake of the Ozarks yet this year. The possibilities for fun (and exhaustion) are endless!
