We just got word from TLC that we will be doing another episode with them. Details are coming together next week and I’ll post more details then. For now, the plans are quite exciting. We will be traveling to the Black Hills for a family vacation. We will be joining DuWayne and Miriam Heppner and their family of 17 children.
If you didn’t know, the Heppners were one of the other families on “Kids by the Dozen.” They have 16 children–many of them adults–and they just adopted their niece (quite a story…I’m sure it will come out in the next episode). Most of their kids are adults, but we’re hoping many of them will make the trip. Josiah, their 4th child, spent a great deal of time with our family a few years ago. He helped us renovate our bus. He’s pictured on the right on the top of our bus. He and many of his sibling may make it to the camping trip for at least one campfire time, and we’re going to try to get Alicia and Alissa up for an evening. The Black Hills is about a 7 hour drive from here, and getting adult children out of their busy lives is difficult, but, we have all the little ones nonetheless.
We’re talking to the producer next week to nail down details. I’ll post as they surface…
