Here's Esther Keyes and Nathan Bates on Instagram.

I assume Tim gets a goal as the only adult male. On the other hand, Phillip will be an adult in the summer, and Sam and Gabriel are in their teens. The girls' goal is to get married and have a family. I assume that is the only goal for most fundie girls.

The Bontragers would!

Grace Annette Duggar shares a middle name with Michelle Annette Ruark Duggar. Also all of the Ms were inspired by Michelle. Michael James Duggar is named after Mike Keller and Jim Bob. I'm missed that you posted the same thing. MacKynzie, Felicity, Addison (Joe and Kendra), and Bella all share middle names with their mother. Israel and Samuel Dillard both have middle names from Derick's side of the family. Abbie's middle name is Grace. Maryella's name was inspired by Grandma Mary. Mason's middle name is also Garrett for Garrett Ruark.

Everly is one of the fastest-rising popular names for girls. It's spelled many different ways Everly, Everleigh, Everley, etc. Everly is the most popular spelling and it broke the top 50 in 2019.

I believe wearing light colors is traditional for Easter. It doesn't bother me and Nurie's dress is great.

So did Joy and Austin.

I don't think she is opposed to Evelyn crawling and exploring. She seems to be sad that Evelyn is so old. 😒 This reminds of Michelle who loved the babies, but around 6 months or so started thinking about the new blessing.

Grace is adorable. The picture is a little weird. It looks like Grace was photoshopped in.

I don't see Joe and Kendra stopping the baby train soon. Hopefully they'll at least slow down. It's too soon to tell about the newlyweds. .Excluding the two newlywed couples, no one else is going at the rate of Joe and Kendra and I get the sense most of them would be okay with slowing or stopping the baby train.

I wouldn't be surprised if her dad selected the dress or had modesty rules he wanted followed. That guy seems very controlling.

@rue721 I know someone who sold their house very quickly. It was in good condition, but they (the sellers) said there was a master bedroom on the main level. No there wasn't. You had to go upstairs to the second level or down the stairs to the basement. I hope the buyers knew that when they bought it.

Lauren's dress looks a slightly different color than Kendra's dress and I think maybe the sleeves were different. Joe was definitely a groomsman. I don't think it's too awkward, especially since the bride's family may have chosen him. Fundie weddings are big networking events, so it makes sense for the Caldwells to go.

Yes although I doubt a 31 year old dating 27 year old would be weird in most contexts. Same goes for 25 year old dating a 22 year old.

Stephen Wissman is 27 and will be 28 in July. Jana is 31. Despite the age difference, there could still be a courtship. Jeremiah is allegedly dating Hannah and the same age difference. Hannah is 25 and Jeremiah is 22. Since they're all adults, if they want to pair up, it's fine with me. Katey is older than Jed! and Claire is older than Justin. It seems to be trendy.

Thank you for posting this! Jed! is holding Felicity. This picture is from 2020, not 2019, and it surfaced around June originally. You can tell it's from 2020 as the waitstaff are wearing facemasks.

On the timeline for Jed! and Katey, Jed and Jer were with Jim Bob, Jeremy, Felicity, and pregnant Jinger in Arizona last year. They probably were visiting the Nakatsus, because why else go to Arizona? The family also seems to have been active in IBLP circles, so probably they met the Duggars at Big Sandy. Kory seems to have joined IBLP after his divorce.

Imperishable Hope. It's based on 1 Peter 1:4, which about the Resurrection of Jesus. Imperishable means it lasts forever, so Jesus resurrected is the Imperishable hope.

I'm not sure who she is either. She is reportedly one of the Andregg sisters. I'm not sure whether that was married Lauren singing or her single sister Ashlynn.

I think it's Jason, but he doesn't sing well. He needs to support the sound better.

Did he actually say that? I missed that.

Katey's dad is giving a speech like the fathers do at the Bontrager weddings. Katey went on her last father-daughter date this week.

The video is very grainey and it's hard to tell who is who.

Yes. At least the wedding is outdoors.

I agree that it could just be weight gain. Many, many people struggle with keeping their abdomen trim and Anna has had 6 babies. She could be pregnant given that Maryella is a year old. She also could be pregnant and most of the weight is still from weight gain.
