Hello new friends! I am so excited to begin our year together! I would like into introduce you to myself and my family. My name is Miss Megan Bates and I am joining Coulson Tough after 4 years teaching in the Fort Worth area. I graduated from TCU and stayed in the area to teach after college. We have recently moved to The Woodlands to be closer to my parents and my three younger brothers. I enjoy playing and watching sports (especially college football) and doing all sorts of art projects. I am thrilled to be joining Coulson Tough this year!
I am the proud mom to Cooper, who is 2. He is full of life and energy and he can always make me smile! He loves dogs, dirt, and daredevil stunts... such a boy! Cooper has recently become a part of my "forever family" through the miracle of adoption. He came to me when he was 7 months old as my foster child and has been a part of the family ever since. I have been a foster parent for several years, but I look forward to a break from fostering as we work through some of Cooper's special needs. He has been diagnosed with a condition on the autism spectrum as well as a genetic condition that causes some medical problems. Through it all, Cooper is such a blessing!!
I'm lucky to have a closely-knit family. My parents haved lived in The Woodlands for 8 years and they enjoy playing golf and riding bikes together. Two of my brothers, Adam and Jon, ( identical twins!) live in Florida and my youngest brother Colin is a senior at Texas A&M University (Whoop!) My nephew Hudson is 4 and he is such a blessing and a wonderful playmate for Cooper.
I look forward to getting to know your family as well!
