For Fathers

“Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.”

People ask me all the time, "How do you do it with two toddlers?" While I'd like to give myself all the credit, I couldn't survive without the help and support of my wonderful husband. If I could change the quote around it would say:"Behind every mother of twins is a strong husband." In my case it is very true. Kevin is such a wonderful father to our girls and I am forever in debt to Heavenly Father for blessing me with him. Being a father and provider for our family is a lot of work, especially when your kids come in pairs. Kevin continues to do a wonderful job and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Happy Father's Day!
