Erin Turns 29

Happy 29th birthday to Erin Paine! She is the third oldest of the 19 Bates siblings. When Erin was born, Zach was almost two-and-a-half, and Michael was 15 months old. Fourteen months later, Lawson arrived, and 13 months after that, Nathan came into the picture. That gave Gil and Kelly Bates five children well under the age of five. (Anyone else ever found themselves in that situation?) Now, Erin and Chad have four little ones of their own, and their oldest will turn five in 12 days.
