How is Lawson going to outdo the parachuting into the ceremony? You know he is going to try. This will be so much more fun than guessing baby names! Note there is no official announcement yet but you know it is coming.

The quote above says it all.

I noticed on the baby Dillard thread someone posted a picture of Lawson and "Isreal". Do you think Lawson is courting a Duggar? Maybe one of his sister is courting a Duggar? I always see Lawson in videos with another Duggar boy and they seem really close, so maybe he was just visiting?

New blog w/ lots of pictures. So sad what happened. At least they are trying to help. Things like this is why the Bates have 2 married kids, 1 engaged, and 1 courting. They are allowed to travel without the entire clan and interact with people. I'm talking to YOU, Steve Maxwell!!! You would never let Joe, John and Jesse make such a trip.

This is her response from the Bates blog. Thank you for your concern for Lawson. Actually, he volunteered to extend that money. Erin taught piano and paid hers off. Zach paid his off through his work. It was his own choice and we were so grateful he had such a generous willing heart to do such a kind deed for his family! We teach the children responsibility and gratitude, so the children were faithful at keeping payment records and I think their hearts were all drawn closer together as a result of seeing their brother’s sensitivity to them. Zach had already determined to turn the car down and Erin had already decided not to return to school when he made the offer to help. We were all so blessed!!! I wouldn’t trade that character for anything and I’m so glad the children showed their gratefulness in return by paying him back. As for the end for Lawson… none of our children asked him; it was a willing offer that he never had to make… I’m so glad that money was not his first priority, but rather investing into the lives of others. We’ve all learned from his example! He may never loan anyone money again, but he certainly made a lasting impression this time! Love, Kelly Although I don't agree with any of their beliefs they seemed more real and more "christian" like than the Duggars seemed but it seems they are all the same. I don't get it. I really don't.

The BATES use LAWSON'S income, but claim they only use one income. They even teach that in ATI.......hmmmmmmmmm. I suppose the do not "count" that because the pay him back at some point? So much for "no debt".......

So how come the Bates kids can attend a community college and a local Christian College without becoming tube-top wearing sluts or green haired guys, but the Duggars are stuck with College Plus?? I'm disappointed in the Bates for taking advantage of Lawson's bank account, but I still have more respect for them--they are letting their kids grow up a little bit and are letting them have a tiny, tiny bit of freedom. I imagine both Michaella and Zach either had to take the same classes or take a sibling, but still! If it's like our very rural, very small community college there's still an impressive cross section of humanity!

Check it out here: gilbatesfamily.com/2011/07/21/arizona-adventure/ It's going to be a Christian Western movie. Wonder how that'll turn out.

Lawson is working on a low budget Christian western and a few Bateses visited Arizona.He is fine looking man,I'll say. Gil is both working on losing a baby over a cliff and looking both pervy and derpy in the Erin photo.Who says Fundie men aren't talented? Kellys poor body is still working to keep her baby alive. Hopefully Erin is working SAHD mojo on the cute church friend who went with them.
