Ok, so I’m forever late in posting from the last few days and weeks… wedding planning filled my schedule, but a very important event transpired on October 5, 2000… Katie Grace Bates was born! She introduces herself as “my favorite” (which would be incriminating in this family, because they’re really ALL favorites!). Wherever Katie is, there’s a trail of laughter following because she makes everyone smile! Her name means “pure grace” and each name has 5 letters because in Scripture, the number 5 represents “grace.” So you could interpret that two ways: 1) She is very gracious and/or 2) We need a lot of grace to handle her abundance of energy lol! (I’ll let you guess). But I will say, her energy is contagious (and so is her love for ice cream) and no party would be nearly as fun without her presence! I’m so thankful for you, Katie! Love you so much!!! ❤️😘 Happy 18th!! (Late 😍)
