If you ever feel overwhelmed with your own kids, think of this lady :P

Wow-16 kids is totally overwhelming. I can't even imagine. The new baby is Johannah and they have an eight yr old named Joy-Anna. I'm sure the 11 yr old's name is pron. as Ginger but I initially read it as "Jing-er".

I read it in the newspaper and on-line yesterday. it's unimaginable to me

all those J names - I'm not opposed to that - but the Jinger with a J is a real stretch and there's a Joy-Anna already and this one is Johannah - way way too similar

there's lots of girl names I can think of that she didn't use.

but best of luck to her. I guess the older kids can help with the younger ones.

I remember when she had the last baby (Jackson). I couldn't believe it when I read in today's paper that she had had ANOTHER! I can't imagine! I can't even believe that her body can handle all that, especially when they're this close together. How does that family manage?!?! We can hardly handle life w/ 4! (Of course, silly me, I WOULD like another one too but dh won't let me!) Maybe they like all the publicity!

I read that they manage by assigning each older child a younger child to take care of. Very controversial! :)
