"She sees Drake off to his first day of school," Chip added. "Which in kindergarten, it makes sense that you get really emotional. Your senior year, this is a celebratory moment."
Joanna shared: "I think for us, it's the realization that we're this tight little family unit and we're a bigger family. There's seven of us, but knowing the second that one baby leaves, it changes that dynamic."

Chip spoke of ensuring that his son was ready to grow up and leave the family home, choosing to look more at the positive side of things.
"I think like anything, we've done our job. And now with this little boy, man, whatever he is, it's going to be exciting to see what he becomes and I think it's healthy."
