Double the Fun!

A couple of weeks ago, my sister Marie and brother-in-law Tristan wanted to attend a friend's wedding in San Francisco and needed babysitters for their 6 1/2 month old twin boys in San Diego.  My sister asked my mom and I if we could come down and we jumped right on it!  We love our little twins!  My dad also wanted to go so he could see these cutie pies.

My mom and I had helped out when the twins were born, but at that time, Marie and Tristan were home.  This was going to be different, we were on our own.  Now, I have always had an appreciation for how they handle taking care of their precious boys but my appreciation has gone to a whole new level!

Double diapers, barf, feedings, playtime, baths and tons of laundry.   I must have washed at least 8 loads of baby items and 100 bottles in just a 24-hour period!  The boys, Evan and Isaac, have two very different personalities and are not on the same schedule.  Evan is the night owl and wanted to hang out with me all night.  When they were finally down for a nap or bed, I would take the 5 minutes of opportunity that I had and wash the dishes or tidy up a bit.  Right on cue, one or both would wake up.  I now see why Marie doesn't have a chance to return phone calls or emails sometimes. With us taking care of them like this, I have a glimpse of what Tristan does on a daily basis and what Marie does when she gets home from work.  Tristan has a full-time job at home!

Of course, with Auntie Lisa being a photographer, you know there were tons of pictures!  If you are interested in checking out what life is like with the twins, go check out Tristan's blog and YouTube videos.   Since he is also a musician with his band, Country Rockin' Rebels, his blog and YouTube videos are appropriately titled Rockstardaddydaycare.

These two boys are so lucky to have wonderful parents and I am so happy to be a part of their lives!
