PRAIRIE GROVE, Arkansas (KHBS, KHOG) — It was an extra-special Father’s Day for one Prairie Grove family who just welcomed their third set of twin boys to the world.
The latest additions to the family were born six weeks ago, just in time for Father’s Day.
Parents Lindsey and Richard Skelton say this was definitely surprising to them, but a blessing and privilege for the whole family.
“We were just in disbelief and really grateful and honored. We were very surprised when we got our first set of twins after we experienced a previous loss,” Lindsey said. “And you know we thought well that’s pretty cool God did that for us, and he just kept on doing it.”
The six Skelton boys are all younger than 7 years old, which Lindsey and Richard say keeps their house busy, loud and full of life and love.
“It’s really wild, I mean, all the time, you know,” Richard said. “It’s such an honor and a privilege to be part of it. You know, there’s no greater calling in life than to being a mom or a dad.”
Lindsey’s extended family gathered at her parents’ house Sunday afternoon for a special Father’s Day meal. The family says Sunday dinners are a weekly tradition that they hold dear, and a time to bring together all the grandkids and great-grandkids under one roof.
“Just watching them learn, you know, they hang on to everything that you say and do,” said Mark Hudgens, Lindsey’s father. “So yea, that’s pretty special.”
Lindsey and Richard say despite the never-ending laundry and never-ending dishes in their house, every day with their boys is a gift.
“It’s the best thing ever, I wish I had 100 of them,” Richard said. “We want to raise good humans who love God and are kind to people and honest.”
