Vuolos Interview Austin

Joy Forsyth few to Los Angeles with Gideon, Evelyn, and Gunner to visit Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo. They enjoyed warmer temperatures and quality family time just weeks ahead of Jinger's due date, which is in late March. Austin joined them for a short time, and he was also invited to join the Vuolos as a guest on their podcast. In this 50-minute episode, Jinger and Jeremy ask Austin about his courtship with Joy, his theological differences with Jeremy, his family's appearance in one episode of a show called "World's Strictest Parents," and various other topics. It is interesting to hear Austin's insider perspective on the show that his family participated in 16 years ago and how that experience caused him to be skeptical of reality TV shows.

 

Duggars at the Lake

For the Duggars, summertime means time on the water! Joy, Austin, Gideon, and Evy Forsyth met up with Jedidiah and Katey Duggar at Beaver Lake. Jed and Katey have been married almost three months.

Austin Goes Skydiving

This week, Austin flew his family of four to Alabama to visit relatives. While there, Austin got together with Trace Bates and Lawson Bates and went skydiving. Do you remember watching 19 Kids and Counting "Duggars Shoot for the Sky" back in January 2011? In celebration of her 18th birthday, Jessa Duggar went skydiving with her mama, Michelle Duggar.

A Birthday and An Anniversary

Back when the Duggar family was "only" comprised of Jim Bob and Michelle and their kids, spring had very few birthdays, but with all the in-laws and grandchildren, it has become a very busy time. Today is Joy and Austin Forsyth's three-year wedding anniversary and Ivy Seewald's first birthday. It would have been the lovely Grandma Mary Duggar's 79th birthday, but she passed away on June 9th of last year.

Gideon Forsyth, Austin Forsyth, Joy Forsyth

 

Just before Austin's birthday on December 11th, Joy-Anna Forsyth found out that she was pregnant! The elated couple has since been told the gender, and it's a girl! She is due in five months, on August 19th, 2020. At around eight weeks, Joy's blood work indicated that it might be a molar pregnancy, which is not viable. The expectant mother was overjoyed to find out that the baby was healthy. Baby Girl Forsyth is due nine months after Annabell's November 2019 due date.

Duggars' Bahamas Efforts Mentioned on CBS

"A family from Arkansas." That's how David Begnaud, lead national correspondent for CBS News, refers to John-David Duggar, Jana Duggar, Austin Forsyth, James Duggar, and Lawson Bates when they appear in the background of a newscast.


"They flew their own plane in here so that they could be a part of it," says Begnaud. "That's what we're talking about here, folks just showing up at the airport asking for permission to go out and help."

The September 4th newscast was shot at a private airport hanger inside the Nassau, Bahamas, airport, where the Duggars and Bates and others were standing by to help. They arrived in the Bahamas on September 3rd and have been working tirelessly to evacuate hurricane victims, transport relief workers, and deliver supplies.

You can watch the video on the CBS website.

For the residents of the Bahamas, the past 36 hours have been a nightmare, as Hurricane Dorian stalled over the islands and caused mass destruction. A few of the Duggars (John-David, Jana, Jason, James, and Austin), along with Lawson Bates and Nathan Bates, flew to the Bahamas this morning to lend a hand. They are with an organization called Medic Corps and will be using their training to deliver emergency supplies and provide medical and disaster relief. Those who are interested in supporting their efforts can do so on the Medic Corps website.

The Forsyths' Loss

Austin Forsyth and Gideon Forsyth, June 2019

Just days ago, the Duggars announced that Anna Duggar, Kendra Duggar, and Lauren Duggar are all expecting baby girls in November. This evening, they have shared a devastating piece of news. Joy and Austin Forsyth lost their baby, who was also due in November.

The expectant parents went in for their 20-week ultrasound and gender reveal one week ago and were told that their baby had passed away. It was a girl, and they named her Annabell Elise. Please join us in prayer for Joy and Austin for both physical and emotional healing.

Gideon's 1st Year

Joy-Anna Forsyth: "This first year has been super easy...compared to most babies."

Austin Forsyth: "I was just going to say a lot of work..."

Given Joy's experience with 10 younger siblings, she might have a better idea of how much work the average baby is....

Gideon Forsyth turned one year old on February 23rd. TLC filmed a video in which Joy and Austin share and update on their one-year-old son. To watch the clip, follow the link below to be redirected to the network's website.
