MORE TO BE CONTINUED.....

(2004-2005) Jim and Cheryl have twin boys. Their names are Justin and Dylan. Jim is overjoyed to have three sons now. Cheryl, Dana, Roxanne, Ruby, and Gracie were hoping for another girl, but are still thrilled to have two boys. Roxanne and Andy plan the wedding, having Cheryl being the maid of honor, Jim being the best man, Dana being the bridesmaid (who walks down the aisle pushing Justin and Dylan in a fancy stroller/carriage), Kyle being the ring bearer, and Ruby and Gracie being the flower girls (who walk down the aisle with Kyle). Dana meets a guy at the wedding of Roxanne and Andy, whom she really likes, as does the family. Dana's new and serious boyfriend, Matt (Kirk Cameron) decide to move in together, but decide to take things slow. Ruby is now in the 4th grade and is 10 years old. Gracie is in the 3rd grade and is 9 years old. Kyle is in preschool and is 4 years old. Justin and Dylan are only less than a year old and are with Cheryl as she stays home (as the housewife she is). Roxanne and Andy want to have a child of their very own (Roxanne's child from the Asian guy never happened). Roxanne finds out a week later, she's pregnant. Andy prepares to be a father and is excited. Dana becomes jealous of Andy for getting married and starting a family before she has, but she finds out Matt loves her as much as she loves him. A the season winds down, in the season finale, during a family-get-together (with Jim, Cheryl, Roxanne (whos pregnant), Andy, Dana, Matt, Ruby, Gracie, Kyle, Dylan, and Justin), Matt pops the question to Dana, who is surprised and thrilled as she accepts his offer to become Mrs. Matthew Paulson.
