My birthday is on March 7 so I will make sure that I remember to be praying for him throughout the day! Also, I was wondering Boaz is till at home with the rest of your family because I had not seen any pictures of him on your blog recently.
I have three adopted children from Liberia along with 7 biological children. One of our sons just headed off to Job Corps. I’d love to hear how your children are doing at Job Corps.
Hannah- our kids are doing great! Keziah (19) has one more test to take and then will have her GED. Boaz (17) is working on his High School Diploma and plans to join the military when he graduates. Ezra (19) just started but seems to like it.
Your children are beautiful! Jubilee is not a common name, but SO beautiful! My oldest daughter’s name is Jubilee Ohannah – her twin brother is Asher Othaniel. Their younger sister is Senona Joy… I pray the Lord’s blessings on you and your lovely family!
Cherridon- beautiful names! I love them.
Wow, your family is awesome and beautiful. My family has five children, three bio, and two adopted.
Brittney, thank you! I really love my large family.
I’m wondering about the duct tape…
Rachel- what are you wondering?
You have a beautiful family. I have a son named Tucker who is 7. He is also loud, wild, and loves playing with LEGO. Must be the name! LOL
Aw, I love this!
I was wondering if there were any updates on your three children at Job Corps. Do they call/visit very often? How are they doing?
I was wondering that also. I am unsure at what job core really is…maybe a post on it? Did they live at home very long?
Such beautiful children….I absolutely love their names!
I have enjoyed your blog. I live in the Houston area and wish I would have been able to helped you out when you were here. Feel free to email me if you find yourself in need to come here again and perhaps I can be of some assistance.
What an amazing family!
Thank you Lillian!
Thank you so much for sharing your family with the world. It absolutely shows that you and your husband have very big hearts! I was searching for a kale recipe on Pinterest and somehow ended up at your site which then piqued my interest and I was curious about the 14 children as this always amazes me since I can’t quite fathom squeezing out one! I have plenty of time though. I’m curious to know how your youngest is doing and why there is not more positive things written about him. Has he overcome some of his health issues? Has he taken any interest in some small joy or creation in life? Please feel free to email me personally – jenny@jenny-says.com. Oh ya, and I still was searching for the kale recipe for my own blog =)
Thank you for the comment. Apollo is now taking only 2 tube feeds per day, down from 4 since his last surgery in October 2012. Good luck with the kale!
