1st Snow of 2022

The weather on New Year's Day was unseasonably warm in East Tennessee. The Bates saw temperatures in the mid-70s! But like most of the region, the temperature quickly started dropping, and it began to snow. 

Today, they are enjoying the first snow of the year. Layla, who turns two on January 31st, is clearly loving the experience. Carlin is 26 weeks pregnant with Gil and Kelly Bates' 20th grandchild (a boy, in case you missed the Stewarts' announcement). Erin Paine is due with her fifth baby this month, so there should be news to share soon.
