Here is the Duggar Family Web Site from my other post today

The Duggar Family

Wow I saw this news story today.... I can't believe it. If I was this guys wife I think I would have to start saying "Get away from me" LOL

Some more comments will be at the end of this story"

Credit Fox News:

ROGERS, Ark. — An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long.

"The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters."

The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters.

Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night.

"We both would love to have more," he said.

The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars, called "17 Kids and Counting." Chris Finnegan of TLC — which handles public relations for the Duggar family — said the show's name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby's delivery.

I think its great that they want to have a BIG family they are stronger and make much more money then I do to be able to support all the children in that family. What is interesting is this story is close to the same facts that I always find with these big families. I have written about big Christian families. I did post here about a Big family who's vehicles we service. I have 3 questions one of them I asked the last time I posted about this.

1. What is it about "conservative" Christian families that makes them want to have hug families
   
2. Do you really think they are being good to our planet and it resources? I mean 18 children that family is using allot of consumable goods are they not?
   
3. Again there are enough children in this world that need a good home what about adoption?
   

Thankful On Thanksgiving

It is the time of year for me to reflect on things and to say that EVERYONE should do the same. Most that know me know I am not an optimistic person at all. Most of the time I stay in a negative state of mind I am always thinking the worst will happen. I find it very hard to stay positive about things. I should do this everyday of the year but on Thanksgiving I do look back and give thanks for all the great things I have in my life. I would like to list here just some of the things I am most happy for.

Mom and Dad I don't say it near enough I am so very thankful for you both and Love you both with all my heart. Thank you for all you do and thank you for putting up with me. And thank you for the unconditional love that I know is there.






Amy & Brandon,

Amy you have become such a big part of my life I would be utterly lost if it were not for you. Your insight into things, your outlook on life, Your love of God. Have all been things that have grounded me and made me think about how well I really do have.

Brandon is just unbelievable he has given me so many laughs that I can not count them all. I remember the very first time I met him and when I left Atlanta, you dropped me off at the airport. And with out asking for one Brandon reached out of the car and gave me a hug. That moment in time will be burned into my head forever. So I would like to say thank you to you both! I love you both very much.

I am thankful for life, I am thankful that my CP is not worse then it is.

I am thankful that as bad as things are right now that I still have a job and a boss / friend that is fiscally responsible enough to have seen this coming two years ago. Who put into place things that would enable our company to stay afloat in these hard times.

For the sake of time here I can not put down everything I am so very thankful for... There are countless family members. My sister Tammie her family, many cousins, many aunts, & uncles.

I am thankful for so many things on this Thanksgiving. Lets all remember at least a few things to be thankful for.

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving EVERYONE!
