It feels surreal to have a 10 year old. I've been a mom for a decade? Really?? I remember the day this kid was born like it was yesterday. The unimaginable joy, and then the tears of fear as we left the hospital and realized that we were fully responsible for this small human being!
Carter MacLeod, we love you more than words can express! You've completely changed our lives in the best possible way. We love watching you experience life-so expressive, enthusiastic, adventurous and brave. You have a confidence and independence that are impressive to us. (When all your good friends picked football for a fall sport, you picked soccer because you thought you'd like that better). You make friends so easily-you are kind, inclusive and so fun to be around. You have amazing God-given gifts in sports and academics. You are growing in character and are trustworthy.
Happy birthday buddy! xoxo
His excitement over my "yes" to getting cheese balls for his b-day party!
Most of his good buddies could make it!
Landon Rinde, Tyson Vanyo, Sawyer Harlow, Brody Schneider, Cooper Barendt and Gabe Schauer (Easter Weisser couldn't make it).
Carter asked to have a pinada at his party! The guys loved it!
He picked a robot cake which surprised us but then he told us it had the most frosting!
The guys spent the party time playing with nerf guns (like most days here)!
Power clashing on his 10th birthday! I tried to help him change but he said he wanted to double up on plaid being that it was his big day!
