Our good friends Andy and Audra asked us to watch their tiny little twins Emaline and Elliott for the night and we were so delighted to help out. It was really the first time I've had a chance to care for a baby since I've been pregnant and the first time I have seen Brad with an infant for more than 10 minutes. I knew he was great with kids since he is such a wonderful father to Laney and such a great Uncle to Ezra, Grace, and Audrey. But I had no idea how much more I would fall in love with him watching him care for the twins. 
Right after Andy dropped of the twins, I had a massive craving for Cadbury Chocolate eggs, so Brad ran to the store to pick me up some goodies for the night. Right before he left he made sure I was okay with both of the babies. They were smiling and sitting on the floor as happy as can be so I said go right ahead, these two are just a piece of cake. Brad closed the door, the twins looked up at me at the same time and started crying. It was so funny. I bent down to pick one up and realized how hard it is to pick up not only one baby, but two while I'm pregnant. I was singing to make them stop crying and bouncing, but nothing worked. I finally figured out that they were hungry, but making bottles for two babies while holding both of them was pretty interesting. When Brad got home I was laying on the couch with a baby in each arm feeding both of them at the same time. He laughed and took one of them to help me out. It was really funny. Once they started to get sleepy Brad and I would bounce up and down the hallway trying to get them to go to sleep. He would talk to Elliott and Emaline and they just loved him. It was so wonderful and made me so happy. I can't wait to have our baby girl here and do that every night. It was so much fun.
