Saxon was 8 pounds 3 ounces and Ella weighed 9 pounds 11 ounces. For those of you keeping track, that means both babies have gained 4 pounds and 12 ounces since they were born. It also leaves Ella just 3 ounces short of doubling her birthweight.

Saxon and Ella also got another round of immunizations during this visit. Both cried at the time of the injection, but Ella bounced back in no time. Saxon's reaction wasn't as good and he was in a bit of discomfort throughout the night. The babies still have one more set of injections to get, but we will likely hold off on it for a while. We don't think there's a big risk of diphtheria around the house and he will probably do better if we let him get a little bigger first.
(Ella went to sleep holding this texture blankie our friend Andrea made and had it in a death grip until she woke up.)
Beyond that, things are pretty much on a steady course around here: Work and School, sports and activities. Nick and I are getting more involved in Civil Air Patrol, Amanda almost scored a goal in St. Peter's victory over the Dresden Dragons, Callie is preparing to return to the working world.
It's fall now and the weather is great. I know I for one am looking forward to some outdoor activities with the family.
