Recap: Big family, Big Changes

** Sorry about the delay in the recap **

Gil and Kelly talk about the upcoming changes for the family. Gil is about to have surgery to fix his diverticulitis. Gil and the boys head to get the fort ready for the little ones. Gil heads to urgent care due to a big splinter that he got in his arm while sliding down a 2 by 4.

Lawson heads to Nashville to work with a producer and singer. He is hoping to do a small tour this fall which ends on Southeast of the states.

The kids talk about their fathers and are sad about this surgery. Nathan and Lawson know that they need to keep up with the tree business while their father is out from surgery.  Kelly hopes that her husband won’t be climbing trees at the age of 65.

Carlin, Tori and Josie have the kids make cards for their father as he is at the hospital.

Whitney gives an update on baby #2 and says that she is doing awesome. Zach and Whit head to the house to announce that they have chosen Kaci Lynn Bates. Her name will be after her grandma Kelly and Lynn.

The kids are able to talk to Gil who just got out of surgery. Gil is able to return home after a few days.

A little while later, the family receives some snow and Gil has to sit this out.
