Future of this blog

As we quickly approach our tenth anniversary blogging for the Bates family, we have been asked many times what is the future of our website for the Bates family. 

Over the past ten years, we have celebrated birthdays, courtships, engagements, weddings, pregnancy announcements, birth announcements. 

We have also shared recaps from both Bringing Up Bates and United Bates of America. So when the news of Bringing Up Bates surprising cancelation, we have put alot of thought about if we want to continue to share the Bates family news. 

The answer is yes. We hope and pray that you will continue to read about the Bates family. 

Lawson’s new coming soon!

We are so excited to share that Lawson has news coming out this week! Be sure to check out the blog later this week for the details. 

Chad and Erin's got a surprise?

Chad and Erin posted a new blog posted which was posted yesterday on our blog. Chad revealed that they had special announcement.

We don't know what it is but it could be baby #2.

What do you think it is? 

Bringing up Bates

 Sorry for the huge delay in posts; a whirlwind of exciting events have happened in the past few weeks…The most important being the birth of our first grandbaby BRADLEY GILVIN BATES! The next post will be dedicated to him, with lots of adorable photos!  The day after Bradley’s birth, we headed to Arkansas for Jessa Duggar’s wedding, and enjoyed a short, but wonderful visit with special friends!

  The other exciting activity around the Bates home has included filming for a brand new show “BRINGING UP BATES,”  airing on UP TV beginning January 1st! (http://www.uptv.com/bringingupbates)

 

   We love UP TV’s goal to bring uplifting, family friendly shows to homes. We pray BRINGING UP BATES will be a positive experience that will offer hope to others, as we all encounter similar struggles faced in our parenting, relationships, faith, and family adventures!
