Stella's pov: It's been a little over a month since we got to surprise visitors one in which we want to see what was Katie Jackson in a little niece McKenna they also came in town to tell us some very special news that they were having twins here in a few months which is exciting. But then we got a visitor that we didn't think we'd ever see ever again which was Renee, and of course she thought Kelly was still single but she got a rude awakening when she realized that me and him were married and we're getting ready to renew our vows. She also caused a little drama with little sailor but after Kelly come down and she left everything was good: The kids are doing amazing in school they are on their last day before Thanksgiving break the twins are almost 18 months old we're doing great also.

K= I guess it's a good thing you guys decided to come in town
JT= oh yeah
S= I hope you don't mind watching the kids for a couple
JS= of course not that's why we are here to spend time with our grandkids

BS= oh yeah those grandkids are way more important than you Kelly sorry
S= I guess that how it goes when you have kids they are more important than you
KT= that is for sure
We hang out with just the youngest kids for a couple hours and then once it was time for dinner the kids come back home and we eat, they all didn't really want to go to bed that night but eventually they all fell asleep
Kelly's pov; it's been a little over a month since we had some pop-up visitors show up the first which is my sister husband and my niece McKenna, and also surprises us news that they were having twins. Then we had a surprise visitor that we never thought we would ever see again which was Renee . She of course came back in town to cause problems but luckily with a little nudge from Stella she when about her day. Yesterday when I was at home just the twins are they were taking a nap Stella took Greyson on the one on one trip to the grocery store. And once I came back from the store we got some surprise visitors which is pretty normal anymore, which was my family showing up. Today is Kinsley's one year check up with her cardiology luckily we had plenty babysitter second be here to watch the other kids while we took her right now I am laying awake looking at my beautiful wife
S= you can quit staring at me creep
K= i'm sorry my wife is beyond beautiful especially when she's sleeping
S= well thanks but I don't feel it
K= ( kiss her forehead) so how did you sleep last night
S= I slept pretty great how about you
K= sleep was pretty good
S= that's good to hear
K= so are you ready for today
S= yeah I guess I am what about you
K= yeah I'm ready to get this day over it
S= yeah also I know this appointment is only for Kinsley but I think we should take Karter with us because they don't know what it's like to be away from each other longer than an hour so what do you say do you think we can do that
K= of course we can that's totally fine it might make it easier for Kinsley to not be so scared
S= yeah good point what even time is it
K= well it's ( look at his phone) it's 830 what time is the appointment
S= her appointment is at 9:45 and it's a 45 minute drive there
K= so I guess we better get up and get going to get to the appointment soon
S= oh yeah let's go
We both get up and get dressed and then we go grab the twins to get them dressed we really didn't have time for faster so we can have some snacks and headed off, we arrived at the doctors within 45 minutes once we get there we sign in and then we get called back to the room about 10 minutes later. Kinsley gets a lot of test done first about an hour later we are now in the room waiting on the doctor to come in 5 minutes later
KC= hey guys
S= hey Doctor
K= how is it going
KC= not too bad how about you guys
S= we have been good
KV= have they walked yet
K= yes they have
KC= May I ask when they started to walk
S= well they didn't walk on the birthday
K= they actually started to crawl on the first birthday
S= and then they started to walk about a month and a half later later
KC= All right that is perfectly normal specially since they were born prematurely so how is Miss Kinsley doing over all Since her open-heart surgery last year
K= she is doing amazing doctor
KC= that's great to hear let me check her over real fast
S= all right
The doctor checks Kinsley even decide to look over Karter for good measure she was done within 10 minutes
KC= so I have some great news
K= you do what is it
KC= Well after I looked over her eco and her EKG and also checking it out for myself I think that second open heart surgery that she had last year it worked great because she is super healthy
S= wow that's amazing
K= Way to go Kinsley bear
S= does that mean she won't ever need another surgery in the future
KC= I would never say never but at least for the next 5 to 10 years she can be a normal healthy kid
K= wow that's amazing and great to hear
KC= oh yeah also just by looking over Karter he is looking pretty great also so overall you guys have some very healthy kids after everything that they have been through
S= that's great to hear
K= Super great to hear
KC= so I only want to see these kids once a year to check in and see how they are doing for now on
S= well that's great to hear
KC= oh yeah so that's it for the appointment today have a nice Thanksgiving and see you guys in a year
K= all right see you later Doctor ( she leaves)
S= wow amazing news today
K= oh yeah so to celebrate I think we should take the twins to an indoor playground so they can have some fun
S= oh yeah but might want to call and ask your family if they are okay with watching the kids longer
K= Or maybe ask them to join us at the indoor playground
S= that's a good idea let's go to the playground
We leave the cardiology and head to an indoor play please I call my family to see if they wanted to join us luckily for us everybody did so we all met there we all ended up staying for a few hours and having the best time ever. Then got something to eat after and headed home the rest of the night we played all kinds of board games and cards and also watches some movies together. The kids fell sleep pretty early so we put them to bed why all the dogs catched up and also go over the plan for Thanksgiving the next day. Then Jackson and Katie took McKenna to their Airbnb for the night. The next morning me and Stella decide to sleep in for a bit before it was time to get up and get stuff started. White when we get the turkey in the oven the kids wake up and my family starts to show up
KT= we are here what can we do to help
S= We as in you will help out to Katie how is that going to work with you not trying to throw up
KT= well good news I woke up and felt pretty great haven't gotten sick so I want to take advantage of it while I can
K= all right then Katie you are on the pies and Jackson you were on the stuffing
JT= all right I can do that
We all start working together on getting Thanksgiving meal put together. About five hours later everything was done so we all sat down to eat our food
JS= before we eat I think we should go around the table and everyone say what they are thankful for this year
BS= that's a good idea Jackson
K= oh yeah how about the kids you guys get to go first shay you go first
SM= well I am thankful for my family and my friends and food
SG= i'm thankful for daddy grandpa and my baby sister Kinsley
S= oh how sweet sailor bug Luna next
LM= i'm thankful for my whole family I love them so much and also thankful for all the books that I read
K= nice Luna hey grey grey what are you most thankful for
GA= my toys and shay shay
S= oh how sweet so I know the twins aren't talking right now but I think Kinsley is thankful for food and thankful that she doesn't have to go back in for another surgery for at least another 5 to 10 years
JS= wait really no way
K= yeah the doctor told us some great news yesterday
BS= well that's great to hear
S= Karter he's probably just thankful for food
JT= I think McKenna is thankful for food and also like the twins I am so thankful for my little family my beautiful wife and daughter and her two little ones that will be joining us here soon
KT= couldn't agree more Jackson but I'm also thankful for one special reason this year
S= Really why is that Katie
JT= are you sure you ready to tell them
KT= yes I am
BS= what are you guys talking
JT= why don't you tell them
KT= All right so Kelly stella and the kids how do you like it if we moved back to Chicago and McKenna and you guys can grow up together

JS= All right time to make a toast everyone was your glasses ( they do) I want to make a toast to all the great news we share family and new babies coming
