We're on a blogging break (although we've been swooping in to take care of some things), but there's still plenty of great Bates content coming your way!
Did you know that when Gil and Kelly Bates were expecting Carlin Bates, they were so convinced she was a boy that they chose a name (Steven Malachi) and made birth announcements?

In the video below, they share the meaning behind "Carlin Brianne."
