Carter is 6!

6 years ago yesterday I became a mommy.  Our sweet Carter bug has grown from a pudgy little baby to a lanky big kid in the blink of an eye! He has the most tender spirit and loves being a big brother to Oliver and Leine Mae.  This past year he has turned into quite a helper for Mommy and Daddy and has also become very independent.  He is in the middle of his Kindergarten year and is learning to read in Portuguese and write in cursive.  He goes to swim lessons on Thursdays, has a Portuguese tutor on Wednesdays, and helps us out in our ministry on the weekends.  Carter loves Pokemon, Minecraft, drawing, dancing, dinosaurs, robots, singing, and soccer.  He has started to memorize some Scripture and his prayers are the sweetest things you've ever heard :) We sure do love him and are so proud of the little guy he is turning out to be!
