What dedicated family members you are! Your brother-in-law owes you, big time.

I second rebecca's words. Checking in with not-yet-4-year old twins at 2am? Driving 5 hours? You're impressive.

Bonus points for your family for accepting the boy-in-a-dress. My parents are very concerned that one of my boys crys a lot - they're afraid he's not masculine enough. I make sure that they never see the crossdressing one in action :-).
