First off, we want to apologize for our slowness in writing posts and moderating comments over the past week. We had a family wedding in Oregon (Ellie's brother/Lily's son). We did a little blogging while we were there, but our main focus was the event and spending time with extended family that we rarely see.
We're back now, and we're ready to resume our regular blogging schedule. Thanks for understanding!
Michael and Brandon Keilen are coming up on their 14-month wedding anniversary. We know you all enjoy seeing photos of this happy, Chicago suburbs-dwelling couple, so we posted one below.
They will be featured on next week's episode of Bringing Up Bates, as they travel to Tennessee to meet niece Kaci Lynn Bates.
