A/N: Thanks for the reviews and I'm so glad that you're enjoying that. To
the reviewer who asked about "closing the adoption": Thank you for asking!
I'm sure that others have this question too. Closing an adoption just means
that Amanda didn't want to be a part of Jess' life any more (in this case,
it was because it was too painful to see her daughter growing up with out
being in here life) Lucy and Kevin still got to keep her, just Amanda is no
longer involved. That's all. : - ) Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the
*Final Chapter!*

Wow! Being a mother of ONE baby is a huge responsibility, and being a mother to 2 is absolutely insane! And the funny thing is-I love it. It's totally crazy. Kev's off work to stay home with me and I have A LOT of help. Lexie's 1 month old, and Jess is 6 months old (can you believe that? She's so big!). My mom has been over here SO often. Like every other day, she shows up to see the girls and make dinner for me or something like that. It's really nice.
Mary, Wilson, and Billy are moving out here on the 2nd! I'm really excited to see them. I'm glad that they're moving here while the girls are still so little. It's going to be fun. Mary can't wait to see Lexie. : - ) Sarah likes to bring Shelly over here too so we can chat and the babies can be together. We're looking forward to them being a little older and then they can talk and things like that.
Lexie looks just like her father. It's so adorable. She has blonde, blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She's small too. When she was born, she only weighted 6 pounds 8 ounces. Kevin is constantly holding her. He says that she's like a little football. It's so hilarious, because sometimes he takes the baby carrier and puts it over HIS chest to carry her! I have video of him dancing with her too. He's so good with babies!
It's strange not to be huge and pregnant, though I admit, it's a nice change. I can actually SEE my feet when I lie down. Yes, life is good.

Merry Christmas! Christmas with children is so much fun! The tree is looking gorgeous with our usual ornaments, along with two "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments. We got up this morning and opened presents. The girls got CUTE dresses and outfits from their grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. Kevin's mom and dad sent each girl a BEAUTIFUL dress and a little 'blankie'.
We're going to dinner at my parent's house tonight for a family dinner. It's going to be so busy! People there will be: Me, Kev, Lexie, Jess-Mom and Dad, Sam, David, Ruthie, and Peter (Ruthie's boyfriend)-Sarah, Matt, and Shelly-Simon (he's flying in) and Elizabeth (Simon's girlfriend)! Mom's making dinner for 15 people! 15! It's going to be crazy, but really, really fun.
Kevin and I are getting absolutely NO time together at all. We're very busy with a 6 and a 1 month old on out hands! Any time that they're both in bed and we'd have any time together at all, we're both so exhausted that we can't hold our eyes open! Oh well. I've wanted to be a parent all my life. Now I finally have a chance to live my dream!

Well, my friend, it's been fun. As of today, it's been one year. I actually kept my resolution this year, and I've had a great time doing it! I've gone from being a married woman with no nieces or nephews, to who I am today: I married woman with 2 daughters, a niece, AND a nephew! So much activity took place. I adopted a baby and became a parent, I was pregnant (not to mention gave birth) my older sister got married, and my older brother's wife had a baby! I can't wait to see what next year brings
So it's now that I sign off, wishing you a very happy New Year. Thanks for being here with me through this very busy year! Looks like I already know my new years resolution: Keep journal for a SECOND year. Cheers to that!
