Mother's Day in the Bates House

Erin (Bates) Paine recalls how her family celebrated Mother's Day when she was young (video below). "Dad really put a lot of thought and effort into the day to make it special for Mom," says Erin. In less than four weeks, Erin and Chad are due with their first child, a son named Charles Stephen Paine IV. They have already decided to call him Carson.
