On the Cover:
My husband, Steve, adores his three girls. Our twins are Madelyn and Mallory. They love chasing their big sister, MaryGrace, around and absolutely love doing anything that is outside. I believe they would live outside if we would let them. Madelyn and Mallory are currently 17.1/2 months so we are in the middle of lots of really fun milestones. Right now we own three businesses. So between three girls and three businesses we stay completely crazy. Steve is a contractor who builds new structure and also specializes in termite and fire restoration and we also own a custom fabrication stereo shop and fabrication parts business. We live in Mobile, AL.

Did you know that dads of twins are TWICE the men? Dads… inside this issue we are proud and excited to salute ALL of our dads out there that go that extra mile to be there for their kiddos! Those dads that make the sacrifices for their families… those dads that are there every step of the way… those dads that LOVE being a dad and wouldn’t change anything for the world!!! We salute ALL of our dads… even those dads that aren’t related by blood but they still step up and take on one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs we can ever have… Parenting! As we continue to celebrate our 30th year, we would like to dedicate this issue to all our dads—without your love and influence life would be dramatically different for all of us!! So, with that said… I wanted to share with you some of my most favorite “Dad” quotes:
Here are my Top 10 Favorite “father” quotes:1. We never know the love of a parent until we become parents ourselves. —Henry Ward Beecher
2. I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. —President Harry S. Truman
3. “My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” —Jim Valvano
4. A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be. —Carol Coats
5. By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong. —Charles Wadsworth
6. Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That’s hard enough. —Robert Downey, Jr.
7. Fathers, be good to your daughters. You are the god and the weight of her world. —John Mayor
8. Lately all my friends are worried that are turning into their fathers. I’m worried I’m not. —Dan Zevin
9. Nothing I’ve ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children. —Bill Cosby
10. There should be a children’s song: ‘If you’re happy and you know it, keep it to yourself and let your dad sleep. — Jim Gaffigan
We hope you enjoy this issue packed with articles from a dad’s perspective, along with other great information EVERY parent of multiples can use to make their life easier and better. We look at the impor-tance of spending one-on-one time with each twin; classroom placement decisions; tips on camping with twins; and ways to keep them safe this summer. Plus, pregnancy nutrition guidelines; how to help them through sleep issues; bedwetting and our regular columns will give you some great information at every age and stage of your multiples’ lives!
