Lydia (13) has done it again. Following her debut video of her little twin sister, Havilah, comes the montage of her little twin brother, Joshua (1). The video is put to “Made to Love” by Toby McKeehan (used with permission from TobyMac). Watch the video and let Lydia know how you enjoyed it. She appreciates the feedback. Enjoy!

Our “Kids by the Dozen” show airs tonight on TLC. Wendy and I and the kids watched it on DVD the other night. Much has changed since we welcomed a camera crew into our home to capture life in the Jeub home! Here are some highlights…

• The kids are bigger. Both Cynthia and Lydia have grown to be much more teenage-looking (15 and 13 now), and the boys are more husky. The twins are running around eating and talking…and all the others are growing up quickly.
• We wrote a book. Love in the House is making a significant impact on families across the nation. Wendy and I spent a great deal of time articulating our lives in this book, so I hope you get a copy.
• Alicia and Isaac are an active part of our lives again. The TLC show brought to surface our conflict with love and has made us better parents. We sure love our relationship with our daughter.
• Business is good. This time last year, I admitted making $40k/year. Tough to survive on that income with 13 kids, for sure! But, God always provides, and my hard work and Wendy’s support is starting to pay off. I’m sure I’ll post more on that in the future.
• We’re expecting #14 in November! Wendy is a top shape. She had a tough first trimester, but she discovered a salt imbalance and changed her diet. All problems went away, and she’s looking tremendous! Ahhh, life is good.

If you are visiting this site for the first time, we hope you keep an open mind and a big heart. We know our lifestyle scares some people, but really, it is a lifestyle of joy. Bottom line is that our lives are dedicated to Jesus Christ, and we have simply followed his leading. The fruits of love and joy are fruits that God offers to all of us, no matter how many children you have. We invite you into His family!

As you likely know, we publish the NCFCA’s most popular sourcebooks and curriculum for homoeschoolers in the month of August.

We will also be putting on a host of events throughout the day. These include…

The Drudge Report, the world’s most visited website, has on its front page the posting, “Arkansas Couple Welcomes 17th Child!” I tried visiting the Duggar’s website, and I think their server is melting. You can read about their 17th birth (just 30 minutes of labor!) here.

Congratulations Duggars!
