The Duggar Family from the reality television series "Counting On" gathered all together to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, soon-to-be parents Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth are nowhere to be found in the family Thanksgiving photo.

The Duggar Family posted a photo on their Instagram account showing the entire Duggar clan including the grandchildren. The photo is captioned with "What a great few days we have had with our family celebrating Thanksgiving."

The eldest of the Duggar siblings, Josh Duggar, who had been caught in several controversies earlier this year, was also present with his wife Anna Duggar.

However, Joy-Anna and her husband Austin are not in the photo. Several Duggar Family followers asked where they are. One comment presented the idea that the couple might have had spent Thanksgiving with the Forsyth family. The comment reads, "All of you asking for Joy and Austin... can you not deduce that they are at the Forsyth's?"

The Duggar family has not replied to the comments confirming if Joy and Austin were with them or the Forsyth family on Thanksgiving day. The eighth son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Josiah, is not in the family photo, too.

Joy-Anna and Austin are expecting their firstborn in 2018. The couple got married in May, and the announcement of Joy-Anna's pregnancy came in August.

During an interview with People, Joy-Anna said, "We're so happy and thankful to announce that we're expecting a baby! Every child is such a precious gift from God."

The couple have not announced the due date of Joy-Anna's pregnancy. However, if the couple conceived in August, the initial assumption is that she will give birth in May 2018 after nine months.

Next in line is the Duggar family Christmas celebration. There is no announcement from TLC yet if "Counting On" is doing a special Christmas episode that features all the family members.
