Fall Fun!

We went to Eckert's Orchard in Grafton on Saturday and picked apples and let the kids play in the play area.  It was pretty fun!  Nora and Logan loved going down the big slide (1st video) and the kids loved the animals (2nd video).  On Friday night we also went on a hayride with people from Faith Fellowship, that was pretty fun too except for the rain!  You can see all of the photos here.

Special day for Jake

Sunday September 30th was a special day for our cousin Jake, he was dedicated at church! Afterwards we all went over to Aunt Megan and Uncle Dave's house for lunch.

Here we are with our cousins that were there.
Clara, Jake, Logan, Nora, Brianna, Tori and Nick
















Weight/Height Check!

We went to the doctor on Saturday for a weight and height check since the kids are so dang skinny!  Here's the stats:

Clara
37" tall (75th %)
25 lbs (10th %)

Nora
36 1/2" tall (50-75th %)
26 3/4 lbs (25th %)

Logan
36" tall (50th %)
26 lbs (10th %)

So, we aren't doing too bad on height but we got to get some meat on Clara and Logan!  Doctor says they look great though and they are developing wonderfully.  He couldn't believe how far we'd come from being little 2-4 pounders in the NICU to how grown up they seem today!  I agree!

Bad news is that they are all sick, and have been for about a month.  After the first round of antibiotics it did not seem to have gone away so we took them back to the doctor.  They were put on a stronger (and much more expensive) antibiotic for 10 days but by the time we went in for our check-up on Saturday they hadn't gotten rid of it and/or had caught something else.  Lovely!  So, we are now doing another round of amoxicillan.  I'm putting a lot more into our flexible spending account next year!
