Carter, Mom, and Me on Christmas morning

Carter proudly displaying his finished Lego Architecture White House.  He said he suffered through Lego cramps  and mental problems while constructing it.  Lol... this kid cracks me up!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Daisy's Bicycle

We finally found Daisy's bicycle.  It only took 8 months!  We were convinced she didn't have one, but every dog has one, right??  Anyway, here's 22 seconds of belly-rubbing a headless dog.

Goodbye 9, Hello 10!

Ten years seem like so many when you are young, but when you are older those first ten years seem like they passed in the blink of an eye.  Enjoy 10 and the next 10, Carter.  You will always be our LB.

Flashback, 2001

Carter is turning 10 years old this week!  What?!?!  That's crazy talk... it seems like he was just born!

This week I'm dedicating my blog to Carter and his ten years of life.  He's awesome in so many ways and impresses me all of the time with his wisdom, intelligence, and great sense of humor.  I know for a fact that my family would not be the same without him.
