Update on William

Erin just shared an update over on her Instagram. 

Little William is doing wonderful, and we are enjoying every minute of our time with him. Since he is premature, he will spend a little extra time here as they monitor him. We are so grateful for the team here and the support we have from family! ♥️ The last picture is my favorite. ☺️

Twenty-six grandchildren and counting

It's hard to believe that the Bates family is about to have twenty-nine grandchildren in the coming weeks.

Now that Ryker and Lily have been born, we thought that it was a perfect time for the grandbabies pictures to be updated. 

We updated it back in April back when the Bates family had just twenty-four grandchildren and now they have twenty-six grandchildren with three on the way.

Chad and Erin are expected to welcome their son into the world in early November.

Neither Tori or Josie have announced if their babies are a boy or girl. But don't worry, we will be updating it as soon as they are born.

In honor of Esther's birthday, we have a new photo of Esther Joy.
