We are greatful for the safe delivery of our healthy baby girl, Sabine. She is adorable and can't stop staring at this precious gift from the Lord. Gavin&Anna Rogers

We are thrilled to announce that the Freeman family is expanding one more time. With already adult children we are keeping in mind this could be our last child and therefor praise the Lord for his blessings. Kylian&Samantha Freeman, Daniel, Josiah, Vivian, Levi, Amos, Martha, Naomi, Phillip, Caleb, Esther, Rebecca

Ayla Goth: I can't believe you are pregnant again, Faith!

Faith Elderberry: yeah, me too. Already our sixth baby!

Anna Rogers: Well, I'm happy I'm not getting those baby's in the pace you are having them. I wouldn't survive

Ayla: Yes, indeed. The twins are only one year old. I don't want to think about being pregnant again right now

Faith: Well, I did it before and I will survive again

Anna: Not twins again, right?

Faith: No, not twins this time. That would be to much for me.

Ayla: Yeah? That would be to much? haha

Faith: hahaha

Anna: hahaha

Ayla: I think you look a lot like your mother

Faith: yeah, and I even surpass my sister now. She has five children and isn't expecting. So I'm definitely in the lead now

Anna: wow

Ayla: How does Grace feel about that?

Faith: I don't know.

Anna: But Grace doesn't have twins right?

Faith: No, she doesn't. If she would have that would probably change things

Ayla: Well, your parents should be very grateful with two daughters having so many children

Faith: They sure are.

Anna: Have any of your little brothers got themselfs a girlfriend yet?

Faith: No, they haven't. Micah is now 23 years old and it's probably time for him.

Ayla: Who could we set him up with?

Faith: haha, I think he wants someone from their church, not ours.

Anna: That's a shame

Ayla: But there aren't a lot of single women in our church. Regina is still single and Bethany. The others are all married.

Faith: Wow, that's not a lot. My little sisters are too young to be dating, otherwise I would set them up with some guy from our church.

Anna: That would be a lot of fun

Ayla: How old are they now?

Faith: 15, 11 and 9 years old

Anna: Well, in a couple of years they will be old enough

Ayla Goth: So happy to get out of the house but at the same time I'm thinking, why did I leave the house. I'm pregnant with twins.

Faith Elderberry: Don't get me started. And don't say, you have been here before because that doesn't make it any better.

Anna Rogers: Well, one baby in this heat isn't nice, just saying

Ayla: What are we some bitter old granny's. Complaining about pregnany. We should be rejoicing that we get to become mothers again.

Faith: yeah, we should

Anna: Indeed

Ayla: I'm so thankful to have Abby. She just turned four years old and is already such a great helper. And Lianna, Alexander's sister comes by often to help out.

Faith: you are so lucky. But I have helpers too. My sisters Hope, Joy and Charity are going back and forward between me and Grace.

Anna: How sweet. My family is to far away to help but I have a great mother in law who is very sweet

Ayla: I know, my mom is a wonderful helper. And after all it's only your second child

Anna: Yes, I'm behind on you guys and you both decided to have twins. How will I ever catch up with you now?

Faith: I don't know, Anna. But you also got married later then we did. So...

Ayla: Yeah, but don't worry. You will have more children fast enough, Anna

Ayla Goth: So, I was upstairs with Alex, changing his diaper, and Abby was downstairs by her self and she got all in pans out of the cabinet.

Anna Rogers: No! Really?

Faith Elderberry: I can totally see the twins doing the same

Ayla: haha, yeah?

Faith: Yeah, they colide against me

Anna: That must be tough

Faith: Well, that's life with twins. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Ayla: That's life with toddlers

Anna: Well, I will be scared for the day Sabine will be a toddler

Faith: It goes graduatly.

Ayla: Yes, you well get eased in a bit.

Anna: I'm not less scared

Faith: hahaha

Ayla: You will get the hang of it, Anna

Anna: Well, it does feel like I'm behind

Faith: Not by much. Before you know it Sabine is a toddler too and you will be pregnant again.

Gavin: I wanted to ask you something

Howard: About what

Gavin: About Anna

Howard: Anna who?

Gavin: Your daughter Anna

Howard: Oh, Anna

Gavin: Yes

Howard: What do you want from her?

Gavin: I wanted to ask her to court when she is in town for the wedding of Faith Leppert

Howard: Hmmm

Gavin: I know it will be long distance but I'm willing to travel to you as much as possible to make the relationship work.

Howard: Alright, you can ask her. But only with your parents present.

Gavin: Ofcourse

The present

Dakota: So nice for you, Anna, to stop by at our place.

Anna: Well, my father said I had to stop by, so here I am

Gavin: That's very thoughtful of your father

Oliver: Boys, go upstairs please so we can chat

Patrick&Kenneth: Yes dad

Gavin: So, your father and I have been talking.

Anna: Oh, really? About what?

Gavin: If I could start a courtship with you

Anna: seriously?

Gavin: Yes, and it's alright if you want to court me

Anna: How are we going to do that? I live far away

Gavin: Well, you stay with your sister Lydia a lot and I can travel to you. That way we can see eachother reguarly

Anna: Well, you have it all worked out

Gavin: I have thought about it for a while now, Anna

Anna: I would very much like to court you, Gavin

Gavin: That sounds very good in my ears, Anna, say it again please

The family photo's of the wedding of Ayla&Alexander are done, Gavin Rogers has a moment to chat with the other guests.

Gavin: Hi, Anna, is it right?

Anna Maher: Yes, indeed. And you are one of Ayla's brothers right?

Gavin: yes, Gavin, I'm an older brother of her.

Anna gets called to make photo's

After the ceremony they have a moment to chat.

Anna: I really loved the ceremony.

Gavin: yeah, me too

Anna: But it's so sad that Belle isn't here. It's so weird.

Gavin: Yeah, it's very weird. But it's like we are getting used to it. We already had Leo's wedding without Belle and she has been gone for years.

Anna: Do you miss her?

Gavin: Yes, I do. She is my sister and she should be part of this.
