One month ago, Carlin and Evan Stewart announced that they are expecting another baby. A bunch of you asked when the due date is, and we have the answer for you. Baby Stewart #2 is due April 9th, 2022, which means that Carlin is almost 13 weeks along. Because of her blood clotting disorders, this pregnant mama has already had a lot of doctors appointments, but praise God that her little one is doing well.

It has been just over two weeks since the Bates have celebrated a birthday, which is a pretty long stretch of time for this family. But yesterday, two Bates family members turned another year older. Happy 32nd birthday to Brandon Keilen, and happy 11th birthday to Judson Bates! Fun fact: Brandon met Michael before Judson was born.

This weekend has been a happy one for the Stewarts. Earlier this summer, Carlin and Evan sent their dog, Izzy, away for a six-week doggy boot camp. She arrived home and was reunited with her best friend, Layla.

Only three months to go until Katie Bates marries Travis Clark! Trips to New Jersey have been filled with renovation projects and home design shopping. Travis purchased a ranch-style house for his bride-to-be and, with tons of help from family, has been fixing it up. He had to completely gut the inside and is now working on transforming the outside. Isn't it gorgeous?
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, Zach and Whitney Bates are working on a major home renovation of their own.
