Uncle Booby is here! Uncle Booby is here!

I think you would agree they look like identical twins here!
I can't believe that we moved across the globe and I will have had all of my siblings and parents here to visit before the year is up!  So incredible and it has definitely made this transition so much easier.  Lucky for us, Bobby has been doing business in China and he was able to swing his latest trip with a stopover in Singapore with his business partner, Rob.  I caught myself several times talking to people and telling them that my brother and his partner were coming to visit.  That statement takes on a whole other meaning and now I have no idea how many people think my brother is gay.  HAAAA! 

It was fun having them here and we took on trying to see Singapore in a weekend.  Although we didn't cover the whole island, we were able to get a lot covered and with two infants along for the ride.  I know I have mentioned the fascination with twins here in Singapore but it becomes more and more apparent as we are out and about.  We started counting the number of times we heard, "two?  twins, huh?  you so lucky!".  Needless to say, Joe and Bobby made that the phrase of the weekend and the babies were perfect to show off.  Uncle Booby said it was because he was here and he saved them from being in the condo.  Whatever the reason, it was great and we're looking forward to more outings with the girls.

No trip is complete without a visit to the fish spa!
Rob said it feels like crickets crawling up your legs.

Bobby bought dinner so we went to the high dollar place on the Singapore River.  You cook your food at the table and it was fun and tasted great.  Rob made sure that I had my fill of wine so Joe took care of the girls that night... he's a good man!  And thank you Booby for bringing the prescription Ibuprofen for the next morning!!  Good times!
Rob is scared of heights so we made sure that we hit all the highs of Singapore.  This is on the Singapore Flyer which is the largest ferris wheel in the world and we got him near the edge to look down!

Rob taking over the Duck Boat tour. This is one of those amphibious cars that turns into a boat. 
This is the latest hot spot in Singapore, the Marina Bay Sands.  It is billed as the most expensive standalone casino at $5.7 billion.  It is a hotel with a huge skypark on top that overlooks the country along with an awesome
infinity pool.  We are hoping to stay there for our anniversary in March.

To take Rob to his limit, we took the cable cars over to Sentosa. 
Needless to say, Rob made sure he had plenty of liquid courage before
we jumped on.  I have to admit it is a little daunting having my babies
hanging over the ocean off of a cable!!

I think this picture says it all after a full day!
Bobby agrees that Reghan looks more Craig and Rylee is definitely Peltier.  However, they are looking more and more alike as they keep growing.  At times, I have had to do a doubletake to make sure who is who.  Rylee still has more hair and a rounder face and head which is how we can tell them apart.  Personalities have changed in that Reghan is totally chill and can sit back and just take things in.  Rylee is a bit more high maintenance and needs a lot more attention.  Definitely Peltier, wouldn't you agree??!!

Can you tell who is who below???
