Being a Father of Twin Girls is Different!

You know, there is something special about having twin girls in your family! It's not that they are more special than your other children. It's that they are unique and bring a different experience and excitement.

I think it was before we left for America, Bella asked me if she and her sister could get hair cuts. I assured her that they would get a hair cut when we returned from the US. So every conversation we had with her, via phone, was "daddy, don't forget about our hair-a-cut when you get home"!


We have been home just over a week and today was the big day to go and get their hair cuts. 6:00 AM Bethy comes and jumps in my lap, grabbing my neck, "daddy, I am so excited about going to get my hair cut today". It was about every 30 minutes after that both Beth & Belle were asking - "are we going yet", "are we going now?" "Should we go get in the car?"

It was a fun date with my girls! We got their hair cut & then went and enjoyed a doughnut & drink!

You know, I have to be honest and say, I felt a bit weird sitting there in a hair salon taking pictures while my girls got their hair cut, but when I got over myself, I really enjoyed being with my girls - and them wanting me to be around!

I hope you will take time to do special things with your girls - dads - even when they are young!
