Dear diary,

It has been a long time. First, my brother Jedidiah got married to his fiance Anthony. Emma was flower girl, so cute!

Then Juls was inspired and wend down on one knee for me! Ofcourse I said yes. He is the one!

We went to a festival together in the neighborhood of Nicole. Ofcourse she joined us at the festival. I loved seeing her again.

And then we already had my weddingday. It was lovely. Nicole was there and Jedidiah&Anthony but my parents and brothers and sisters didn't attend. It's sad but I'm glad I have Jedidiah there.

We didn't wait long to start trying for a baby. Emma is already eleven years old. And we had luck our first try! We really had luck because it turned out to be twins! Two little boys, Judah and Martin Que. We are just trying to get back in to a routine with our two boys.

Love, Jadyn

Dear diary,

Almost two years have gone by since the last time. My little girl is now a teenager! She is always active like swimming or jogging and very self assured in school. She has lot's of friends coming over all the time. And she adorse her little brothers so much!

Speaking of her little brothers, Judah and Martin are toddlers now and are keeping us on our toes. They are so sweet, both of them. Judah is such a good boy while Martin is a bit sensitve from time to time. They love to play together or with their big sister. They adore her.

My brother Jedidiah and his partner Anthony adopted a sweet little girl, Phoebe. She is about a half year younger then the twins. I love the fact that they will have a niece to play with. Emma never got that when she was little, or now.

Dear diary,

My brother Jedidiah had some amazing news to share! He is engaged to Anthony! Anthony popped the question to him and ofcourse Jedidiah said yes. They have been together for three years and already living together for most of that time. They will get married soon! So exciting. My parents won't come ofcourse but I will be there.

Since Nicole and I both finished our college and got jobs. We thought it was time for a holiday to the beach. We have been working hard, we needed some time off. We enjoyed laying on the beach, swimming and climbing the vulcano.

During our holiday I met a man, Juls Martin Que. He is wonderful! We went already on a date while I was on our holiday and since then we have been dating non-stop. So special!

Soon, I introduced him to Emma. It all went very fast and are already living together at his place. Saying goodbye to Nicole was heartbreaking. She has been such a good friend to me when I needed help. We have had a wonderful time living together with my daughter Emma. I'm so thankful for her!

Ofcourse we will see eachother again but it won't be the same as before.

Dear diary,

We finaly moved! So exciting! We are just moved in but I feels already like home and I love the space the new house has. But the most important thing is the second bathroom, one even has a bathtub.

From the top left to botum right: The kitchen with a new diningtable. The diningtable from the other side with in the back the livingroom. The girls and toddlerroom. The hallway upstairs (not pitured: Bobby's woodworkingtable). The masterbedroom with the crib. The boysroom (for now with just Joseph but James will soon join him).

The first birthday in the new house. Joseph was really excited. He is a teenager now but such a sweet one(AN: he is much like his nametwin from the duggars). And he was already fixing the sink when Bobby came home. I love an extra man in the house who fixes things.

Dear diary,

We recently had a sitdown with one of our daughters, Jadyn. She has been a bit rebelious from time to time and we figured there was something on her mind where she wanted our counseling. The truth was devastating. She is pregnant! She is not married, the father wanted to marry her at first but now he doesn't anymore. I didn't know what to do. Bobby took the lead, my sweetest husband who always knows what to do. He arrenged that she could stay at home but kept out of the eye of those around us. We wouldn't want anyone to know one of our daughters got pregnant out of wedlock. Jadyn was very rebelious about it all. She didn't want to be 'locked up' as she called it. It's still stressing me out a lot and that while I'm pregnant too. We are due around the same time. I told Bobby that we could say to people we are expecting twins. Bobby thought that was the best thing to do.

In the meantime, I stumbled on such a beautiful moment of two of my other daughters, Joelle and Julie. Joelle was teaching Julie some new words. So sweet and it filled my heart with joy. In tought times like those now with our daughter Jadyn moments like these are so important to me.

Dear diary,

I'm getting into normal life at my friends house. Nicole is so very sweet to let me stay at her place with Emma. I can't thank her enough. She also said it is our place from now on. I love her so much!

I made a very big decision, I'm going to college. First I though I should work first but Nicole and I talked a lot about it and she said she had enough money with her scholarship and her garden is making money too. So I applied to college, I'm still waiting on an answer. I'm very excited. In the mean time I'm spending all my time with baby Emma, keeping the house clean and tiddy for Nicole. And I also play the violin often. I'm even trying to write a piece.

While I still worry sometimes how I will make it on my own, at the same time I'm feeling very confident that I will. My friend Nicole is the main reason for that.

Dear diary,

With six childeren there is always something going on. We have reguarly birthday's, schoolthings and always the possibility of a new baby. And with our childeren getting older, the changes are that one of them gets in a relationship is pretty big. So, that's the summary.

First the birthday's. It was Janine and Jadyn's turn. Janine is now an adult, Jadyn is now a toddler.

And I was surprised with yet another positive pregnancytest. We feel so blessed to soon have seven childeren. I always dreamed of a big family and now I have it. And I'm not 30 yet. I'm so thankfull. I told Johanna before the other kids. She was so excited. She isn't pregnant herself yet. (AN: In my spreadsheet Johanna is only 6, almost 7 years old. I'm aging them up according to the 100babychallenge goals)

And the final news is that Janine is in a courtship. It was written al over it ever since the day she met Chris Geller. They are perfect together and I'm sure the will marry some day soon.

He came over on her birthday and asked her (after he asked Bobby) if she wanted to court him. She was thrilled and said 'yes' right away.

Dear diary,

We had Janine's wedding and it was wonderfull. When her big sister Johanna got married we didn't have at much money to spend as we have now. We did Johanna's wedding in our yard but Janine got married at a beautifull church.

The photo's of the big day are already back. Only the ones with Johanna where not good. (AN: She showed up in white, I couldn't have her in the photo's) Juanna and Jadyn where bridesmaids and did a wonderfull job. They where so cute togheter in their dresses.

The familyphoto was a bit hard to make because of the number of people in it. But look at that face of Jadyn, the little cutie! (AN: Just wait to find out what I have in store for little Jadyn, Evy might not think she is so cute by then)

Janine and Chris saved their first kiss, just like Johanna, for their wedding day, it was so special to watch.

And Janine's dress was so beautifull. Totally Janine. They will have beautifull childeren some day soon.
