With an empty house and lots of spare time, some parents find this transition depressing. Kenny McCaughey refused to give in to that and decided this was an excellent opportunity to take up a new hobby in motorcycles.
Kenny would scrap them and then meticulously rebuild them. He also took the chance to ride around the country and looks forward to exploring more in the future.
Empty Nest Syndrome
Once all the children had left the house to pursue whatever it was they had decided they wanted to do, Bobbi and Kenny looked around their empty house and felt how different things would be from now on.
They wouldn't have dreamt of holding any of their children back from pursuing their dreams, but the quiet was a new feeling they would need to get used to.
The Older Sister
Let's not forget about big sister Mikayla, who was also loved and encouraged to pursue her dreams like her seven younger siblings.
Mikayla studied at Des Moines College and then continued on to Arizona State University. Mikayla is also married and has a child of her own. We're hoping septuplets don't run in the family.
Too Big
The house which was donated to them when the septuplets were born is now far too big for just Kenny and Bobbi so it looks like they may decide to sell and downsize to something smaller.
We do wonder what will happen if they all want to come and stay for a reunion, but we are sure they will figure out a solution.
Finding a Buyer
It took until February of 2018 for the McCaugheys to find a buyer for their huge seven-bedroom, five-bathroom family home. The new lucky owners will be receiving a house that is filled with love and happiness.
Now Bobbi and Kenny can settle into their new home too. But there is a twist.
