So adorable, Ryker has a lot of Bates traits but still has his mommy in him! Precious chubby cheeks! He is going to be a model like his mom also! Praying for and love you all!
Ryker is absolutely adorable!! I will keep praying for you all. I signed the petition and emailed my Representative. This morning I got an email from HSLDA that a year deferred status is supposed to be signed on Wednesday. I am also praying that will be signed and it leads to permanent residency for you and your family.
What a doll baby!!! I almost cried during Ryker's sweet photo session!! Many praises to Jesus for Lydia and Ryker's health through everything!! Trac and Lydia are such wonderful parents, and it's great to hear sweet Maui is doing well!! Plus, many praises to Jesus for answered prayers for Lydia's family!! I signed the petition and have been following this story! Praise the Lord for the great news that the family is allowed to stay for one more year!! EVERYONE, let's be praying the dear Lord will finalize this sweet family's ability to stay in the U.S. for good and not have to face continued stress!!! ❤
Prayers for you guys and Lydia’s family! Rest when Ryker sleeps or is quiet. His newborn pics are just precious! Just enjoy your sweet baby because he will grow so fast. Safe travels next week!
Ohhhh I'm so in love with him❤ his little feet that face!!Sometimes I see Lydia's mama in Ryker then I'll see Daddy! He's getting chunky his cheekies!! Lydia your looking so beautiful love you're glasses mama❤ Precious family God Bless Y'all 💥🙏💥🤗 Our weather has been beautiful here in Florida Welcome Bates Crew❤❤❤ praying for you and your family Lydia I have my family signing the petition also🙏🤗💜
Ryker does look different already!! He's so precious. And congratulations on getting a year stay for now from ICE. It takes a village to change things and you definitely have one❤
Ryker is so adorable! Lydia you are doing so well with everything you and Trace plus your extended family went through. Still praying for you and family that God brings you all through it safely
I must have missed this. Did they announce that the Romeike family can stay in the US? I thought Trace said they go this Wed (Oct 11) to find out their status. Thanks for your help.
i thought homeland security/ ice gave them one year removal stay so that a new law can be looked at that have been put out there for i belive congress to take a look at to maby pass
Enjoyed the video! What a precious little blessing Ryker is! Thanking The Lord he’s healthy & Lydia as well! He’s precious! Praying for the Romeike family. Thankful for the news of deportation being held off another year. Believing The Lord will work it all out for the family to be here permanently! Also praying for the precious people in Turkey. Trace I’m sure you & the rest of the team were a blessing. God bless you all!💜
I would like to see more of your whole family and their kids we don't see much of Tori and her family. Ryker is so precious and I am so happy for yall. Yall are wonderful parents and doing an amazing job.
I look forward to seeing how Maui reacts to sweet Ryker. A day in the life would be a great video, too! Thankful your family was granted a stay and I’m continuing to pray for God’s mercy and protection for you all. God bless you 💙
Oh my goodness Ryker is just precious. And the three weeks in between his photos and your talk. He changed a lot. The first year goes by so fast. Enjoy every second. Praying for Lydia and her family and all the legal issues.
What a sweet little baby boy you two have.🥺👶 Glad he had a good photo shoot with Taran Yager. Surprised Lydia didn't attempt to do it being a photographer herself. Heard the news that Lydia and her family get a 1 year delay in being deported back to Germany,so praise God for His goodness. Praying your first road trip to Florida with a newborn goes well. It will be fun to see Ryker meet Chad and Erin and John and Alyssa and all his cousins, especially his close in age cousin Rhett.
I've heard that the Romeike's get at least another year in the U.S. Hope that is true. Will be nice to have that stressor on the sideline. I'd like to hear Lydia share about the delivery day and how it was for her and then her journey adjusting to motherhood. Sweet to see you both adjusting to parenting. Love and prayers!
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Saturday evening and night with baby Ryker and can't wait to see his first newborn photos and can't believe he is going to be 1 month old and he is so cute and adorable.
Ryker is adorable. Love the photos. Glad all is well. We took a 14 hour road trip to visit family when my firstborn was 8 weeks old. It went well. Glad you are able to go to the wedding. God bless your family 💙
Ryker is so adorable❣️ what a sweet baby boy. So many prayers for you all and Lydias family. Love seeing Trace, Lydia and now little Ryker. Trace you and Lydia are so blessed to have such amazing family’s. Love to you all, May God richly bless all your lives and always keep you safe.
Hi Trace and Lydia, little Ryker is adorable 🥰 love the photo shoot he was so so cute. I wish you all the best Lydia with all that you have going on with residency. You’re looking so well a beautiful mama. Sending you both lots of love. 💗 xxx
Trace are you able to take time off from work to be home? It’s a blessing you have family so close to help out. Thank you for bringing us along with ya’ll. ❤
Wonderful blessing to have Ryker be born bigger than expected and doing so healthy. You are doing great as parents. Sso happy you have such helpful family to stay with you too.
Ryker’s photos are gorgeous! His so handsome and precious! I am praying for y’all and Lydia’s family. I love anything you guys video! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Thank you for sharing the photo shoot with Ryker. It looks like you both are very comfortable being new parents. Ryker is adorable and I think he looks like both of you. I will keep you in my prayers.🙏😃❤️
Ryker looks alot like when Jeb was a baby, as i watching the pictures of Ryker's photoshoot, my first thought was he just came from heaven, God's creation, he is so precious. What i would love to see in upcoming video's is a day in the life of you both starting your morning off with Ryker and your precious kitty until you end your day putting Ryker down for the night. Lydia i love your new glasses, it's fit your complexion and color of hair. you look great, Trace, what i love most about you is that you never forget to thank the people in your life, you always give credit where it is due. i sign the petition for Lydia and her family and have been praying that everything will go well.
Ryker did so well at his photo shoot. He’s a cutie pie 🥰 His cheeks are getting chubby!! I’m praying everything goes well with you and your family Lydia.
Ryker is growing so fast. He changes every day. So, so adorable 🥰. Safe travels to Florida. Enjoy the wedding. It will be a great time for family. My prayers are with you, and the family.
Would love to see more vlogs with you all interacting with both sides of your family. Not just video but conversations, too! For me, having fallen in love with the Bates during their TV seasons, I love seeing the married Bates continue their relationships with each other as adults! Very gratifying and encouraging!
Ryker is such an adorable, priceless blessing......at a time when your wonderful family needs one. I signed the petition for you Lydia, and for your family to NOT be deported. What more can I do? My debilitating health challenges has had me housebound & recliner/bedbound for over 9 years now. I want to do good for your family to help you all become U.S. citizens. Please find out what I can do, what we ALL can do. Our country needs to prove that they are better than this. Our daily prayers continue and I am sending you love and gentle hugs, from Donna in Florida.
Ryker is so precious! I see a little bit of Kelly Jo and Gil in Ryker’s looks! He’s a beautiful baby! Those pictures were amazing! Y’all are going to be such wonderful parents! God bless you all!
Ryker is SO precious. You're going to have some great photos. Taryn did a great job. Praising God that the Romeike's have been extended to stay and I know that God will be glorified through this. I am continuing to pray for your family.
Ryker is the most adorable little baby boy. Lydia, you look beautiful as you always do. Travis, you are a caring,loving man who loves his family and the good Lord. I am praying for Lydia's family. You are doing great as new parents. Enjoy this time as much as you can. Ryker is such a blessing! Hugs,Debra 💕
Ryker is beautiful and thanks for taking us along on his awesome photo shoot…pics are gorgeous…love his chubby cheeks and he looks like a good boy …have fun at the Wedding and glad Maui is doing ok with Ryker. Praying for Lydia and her family and your beautiful family….little tip for your trip…try to stop every 2-3 hours so Ryker can stretch in his stroller and won’t get gas bubbles or cramps …good for you guys too…you won’t get swollen feet from eating salty travel food…and drink water. Safe travels 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Loved the baby photos! Had to pause the video and take a few pics at the end!! I love babies and love you guys. Know Kelly and Gill and have been to a couple of Bates’ weddings, and a baby shower, and your dads church, though I live in Indiana. I cried watching his birth and photo shoot because he is precious and as crazy as it may sound, even at almost 72, as a mom and grandmother, I miss that season of life!! Very much. Wish I could have had more than my 3! Could not talk my husband into it. Cried many tears over that. So even today so appreciate and enjoy other’s little ones. ❤Hope you don’t mind. I am a widow now and have a beautiful family myself, but love people, always have always will. 😊Still praying 🙏 though one comment I read here said she got an email 2hrs prior to sending her comment to you and you have another year?! I hope so!! 👏👏👏👍🙏❤️
Ryker is so precious and look at him trying to hold his head up already.. They come out grown lol... I loved his newborn pictures those were so good...
He is so adorable y’all! So glad he and Lydia are doing well. Love those blue eyes and those w little chubby cheeks. Continued prayers for Lydia and her family. God has this. I don’t know why it’s always the hardworking Christian people who are always singled out. But I know y’all have a lot of people who love y’all and we are all sending prayers up for you and your family girl. God bless and stay strong. Love y’all bunches! ❤🙏🙏🙏
Ryker is so beautiful! He's really looking like he's living his best life. Love his chubby cheeks and how his hair is getting lighter. I pray you have safe travels on your family road trip.
