Chapter 9

<<Chapter 8

I feel so content with my family life at the moment.  I’ve always wanted a big family like this, and I was right in thinking that it would be perfect!

Hal is working his way up the Law Enforcement ladder, and has joined the Special Agent career branch.  He’s been playing chess a lot to sharpen his mind so that he can be the best cop he can be.

I’ve also been working really hard on my writing, and have finished my latest romance, “My Heart’s Lullaby,” which is already a hit.  I am now a well-known professional author.  It feels so good to achieve my dreams!

Connor is getting big so fast.  He’s learning how to walk, and he’s learning very quickly.  He’s such a brave little boy, never afraid that he’ll fall down.

He’s also quite gifted on his little xylophone.  The boy’s a natural!  He plays the most amazing music, I can’t believe a toddler can come up with melodies the way he does!

Zoey has met a boy.  His name is Broderick Jack.

I think she really has strong feelings for the boy.  She may even be in love.

Being the daredevil she is, she asked him out the day after she met him!  I was so afraid for her, that she was rushing things, and this would only break her heart.

Broderick said yes, though, so I guess my fears were a bit baseless.  I actually talked to the boy a bit, and it seems as though he is very serious about his future and very family-oriented.  He wants to settle down and start a family as soon as possible, and he thinks my daughter is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with.  I like this kid.

Jarred and Leah are still going strong, as well.  Jarred is also very family-oriented and serious about the future he wishes to have with my daughter.  How did I get lucky enough for my girls to find such great guys at such a young age?

Isabelle is growing up so fast.  I can’t believe her birthday has rolled around already!  She grew up into such a beautiful teenager.
