Owen's POV:

None of the kids stayed up to watch the ball drop on TV at midnight, not even Carmen. However Amelia insisted that I stay up with her. We are sitting down on the couch and the countdown begins, "5, 4,3,2,1!" Amelia leans over and kisses me. I kiss her back and smile, "Happy New Year babe."

"Happy New Year!" She grins and kisses me back, "Another year with you. It is even starting with us getting ready to move into a new house. And we are planning to have another baby."

"I'm ready to do whatever life throws at us. Especially making babies with you." I laugh and pull her into my lap. She laughs, "No baby making now. We have to go get some sleep. We are going to start packing stuff up. the U-Haul will be here at 1:00 PM to take stuff over to the new house."

"Alright alright. Let's go to bed." I stand up with her in my arms and carry her up to our bedroom. We lay down in bed and both fall asleep quickly.

7:00 AM

I wake up to Blake in our bed. She squeezes herself between Amelia and I. "Good morning princess." I smile and kiss her head.

"Hi daddy." She giggles as she holds her favorite stuffed animal, her penguin named Peter. "Can I wake up mommy?" She whispers to me. "How about we let mommy sleep? We were up late last night. I can make you breakfast." I whisper back softly.

She nods and I pick her up and we go downstairs. She sits down on the stool still holding Peter, "Daddy. Peter would like some pancakes with lots of chocolate chips!"

"Hm would he? Or does little Blake want pancakes with lots of chocolate chips?" I say as I tickle my daughters belly. She laughs, "We both do!"

I smile at her, "Then chocolate chip pancakes it is!" I turn around and start cooking while listening to her talk with her stuffed animal. She's the cutest thing. I finish and put some on a plate for both of us. She looks up at me, "Daddy can we please sit on the couch and eat?"

"Sure!" I smile and carry her out with our plates. We sit down and she sits in my lap while we eat. I turn on some cartoon on the TV also. Carmen comes down with the boys around 8:00. They run to the couch, "Hi dada." They say at the same time.

I look at them, "Uhm boys where are your clothes? You are just in your underwear." Carmen answers my question for me, "They were like that when I walked in their room. Logan said and I quote, Dis is how dada sleep. so definitely your kids!"

I laugh and shake my head, "Oh your mom is gonna love this." I stand up to make Carmen and the boys breakfast and they sit at the table. "I am going to go wake up mommy, so we all can start packing." I announce as I leave the dining room.

I go into our room where Amelia is sleeping peacefully cuddling with my pillow. I lean down and kiss her cheek, "Sleeping beauty."

She opens her eyes and looks at me, "Hi" She says softly.

I smile, "Good morning beautiful. Everyone is up and has had breakfast. I came up here to get you so we can start getting things packed."

She yawns and stretches her arms, "Okay I will get up. I think we should start with the kids rooms. Our stuff will be easier."

"Sounds good to me." I say as I kiss her lips when she sits up.

She smiles, "Can you make me coffee?"

I laugh, "Yes I will. I'll send the kids up so you can explain everything we have to do."

I back walk downstairs, "Alright everyone upstairs. We are going to start packing! It's January 1st today, I want us moved in by January 10th. Let's go." I point to the steps as all 4 of them go up, Logan and Daniel still only in their underwear. I walk into the kitchen to make Amelia coffee.
