Where has the time gone? Josie Balka is already 33 weeks pregnant with her daughter! Willow Kristy Balka is due July 25th. According Josie, Willow received a good report at her last OB appointment. The photo below was taken in downtown Knoxville.
Josie and Katie just returned from Florida, where they spent a week of sister time with Alyssa. Alyssa is the sixth-born Bates, while Josie and Katie are ten and eleven, but apparently the three ladies were asked by multiple people if they are triplets.

Beautiful lady's..they do look like triplets. Katie is really Beautiful..its as if she woke up one morning and put makeup on and havent look back. I seen comments who is Lawson with. lol.
ReplyDeleteKatie looks a lot like Erin. I didn't realize just how much until she started wearing makeup/looking a bit more mature.
DeleteI always forget how young Josie is. She's #10 in birth order; she's still only 19. And she isn't turning 20 until after baby Willow is due. But, she's married and she's mentally prepared to be a mom, and that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteShe’s definitely very mature for being a 19 year old! I can’t stand when people complain or say that she is too young to be married/pregnant, that was always very common until more recent decades. She’s old enough to decide for herself what she wants to do with her life, and if that means she wants to be married and have a child she should receive nothing but support.
DeletePeople think what is right for one person is how everything should be done. At 23, I had my 1st son, 25 I married my bf (father of my children), I'm 26 and I just welcomed my 2nd son 12 days ago, and I love how my life is going. I also know people who are my age who just aren't ready for marriage and children, and there are people who are older than I who are starting their families because they wanted to live their lives 1st. Josie is younger than what people expect and because she doesn't fit into people ideas she gets judge, just like I do/did for have my 1st out of wedlock, but she is ready for being a wife and mother and that is great she got there sooner then other. I have a feeling she will be a great mother.
Deletebeauitful family mary keim mennonite ohio

DeleteMary keim: why do you always put mennonite behind your name?

DeleteGreat pic, good news on Baby and awe that's fun people thinking they're triplets.
ReplyDeleteKatie looks just like Erin. They are all beautiful
ReplyDeleteBy all the judging going on about Carlin in jeans earlier in the week, I'm shocked no one here has placed judgement on Josie too!! Glad about that!!! This is a beautiful family!!
ReplyDeleteThat's because we already knew Josie wore pants, she started wearing them as soon as she was married but there's nothing wrong with that, I don't know what people need to criticize for when they marry they can do what they want even use birth control if that's what they deside they don't have to be replicas of their parents.
DeleteThere's no judging Carling for her jeans, there's just appreciating!
DeleteBuuttt....she did look fresh and pretty in skirts!!!!!!!!!!!
Delete1:48, and she still looks fresh and pretty I’m jeans, and obviously prefers them.
Delete1:48- I think she looks great in jeans. However, she is not obligated to dress in a way that pleases anybody except herself. Carlin's husband obviously doesn't care that she wears pants, so neither should anyone else.
DeleteThis was sweet!Hardly recognized Katie!She grew up so fast. She’s lovely 😊
