Two days after Callie's seventh birthday, the Bates have another milestone to celebrate. Josie Bates is turning 17 years old!
As the tenth oldest Bates child, Josie is known by loved ones as being a loyal and dependable friend who is always eager to offer encouragement.
Her favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 10:31 ("Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."). She loves running and drinking coffee and is the only Bates with curly hair. Happy birthday, Josie!
