Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar decided to let God dictate how many children they would have and to date he’s been most generous! Joshua, 15; twins Jana and John-David, 13; Jill, 12; Jessa, 10; Jinger, 9; Joseph, 8; Josiah, 6; Joy-Anna, 5; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 4; Jason, 3; James, 2; and Justin, 9 months Nine boys and five girls plus mom, Michelle, and dad, Jim Bob, make up the Duggar Family. Sixteen family members in one 2,450 square foot house! Imagine the laundry, the dirty dishes…what about trying to cook three meals a day for that many people? What about the financial responsibility? How do the Duggar’s manage? How can this young couple, married 19 years, not only take care of 14 children, but home school them as well? Advanced Medical Productions has been invited to the Duggar household in Springdale, Arkansas to get an unprecedented look at how this incredible family works as a team to insure a happy, healthy and balanced life for each member. We’ll settle in for several, busy days with the Duggars and "walk in the sixteen sets of individual shoes" as they go about their daily tasks. We’ll take a trip to the grocery store with Michelle, ride in the family "bus" to church and watch Jim Bob and the boys work on the new house they’re building for their growing family. The program will document the "real life" of the Duggar Family from the moment they wake up until they go to bed. Using a verite style incorporating camera crew footage with home video and "diary cams", we’ll learn intimate details of this family whose house is literally filled with children! For example: Why do they only have one closet? How much do they spend on groceries? How much laundry do they do every day? And who does it? How can they support such a large family? How does each child feel about being a member of such a large family? What do they do for fun? Where does everybody sleep? Do the kids ever get in fights? How are conflicts settled? How do you home school so many different ages? What happens when the kids are old enough to drive? "When Jim Bob and I got married 19 years ago, we didn’t expect to have this many children….but now, we think it’s possible that we’ll have even more." Michelle Duggar, mother of 14
