So Many Memories: Michaela & Brandon

  • This week we take a journey back in time and look at some of the activities and interests that we had during childhood. One of Michael’s favorite pastimes was singing, both individually and as a family. Brandon’s favorite pastime was drawing, sometimes being so immersed that he would unconsciously make sound effects for the scene unfolding in front of him. We also highlight the process of our parents helping us with Scripture memory while growing up… something that continues to bless us to this day! #family #childhood #music #drawing #scripturememory

    I think if everyone had a “Michaela”,as a friend or mother, and a “Brandon”, as a buddy or dad, the world would be a better place💛

      Hi Michaela and Brandon. Love this video and so blessed to hear part of your stories. I watched Bringing up Bates from the beginning and was so sad to see it not renew. It is a blessing to see you and many of your family members on UA-cam. This is the only social media that I am a part of and I am very careful with the channels I watch. Being a believer in Jesus it is such a blessing to see you both and to listen to your stories. May God continue to bless you both as you are definitely a blessing to others. A big welcome from Michigan 😇.
      Blessings
      Linda

I happened to watch your brother Trace's video of your family "I love you day" oh my goodness your grandma's words were truly who you are and I don't even know you (but I feel like I do). I believe God has bigger things for you and your sweet husband. Hope you have a wonderful evening. ❤
