So we don't have much family that lives within close distance of us, but thankfully we have Uncle David and Aunt Mercedes! (Uncle Willis lives close too, but he is reserving his uncle duties until the babies can talk) Last Sunday, David came over just to help out for a while in the afternoon. Unfortunately, Aunt Mercedes had to work, but she's coming to help tomorrow on her day off. I can tell you that Michael and I are very, very grateful for their help as we have decided that the optimal ratio of caring for newborn twins is actually 3 adults to 2 babies. So while he was visiting, Uncle D changed multiple diapers, cuddled lots of babies, and kept Gillian awake before bed so she would sleep (not a pleasant task as she gets pretty cranky). All this allowed Michael to putz on the computer some and for me to get a nap! Thanks Uncle D!!

Thank you, thank you for the picture of D with his nephew! He seems so comfortable with them and so obviously taken with the "younglings" as Michael calls them. I'm glad that he and Mercedes are there to help out sometimes.
Hi Lea and Michael! I greatly enjoy reading your blog. You both make me laugh! Again, the babies are adorable! And I'm glad you have a little help from time to time. You're absolutely right - the perfect ratio for newborn twins would be 3 adults to 2 babies. But it does get easier!
Take care!
Amy
