They grow up so fast. . .

Yesterday was the last day of Carter's first year of pre-school at the Heiskell School! It seems like just the other day, we were all getting up (barely awake, as Tilly was just a few weeks old) to see Carter off on his big day! Carter was in the Builder's Class this year, and his teacher was Miss Page. He learned so many Biblical truths, fun songs, good manners, awesome crafts, and made so many new friends. What a special year this has been for our little fella!
Carter on the first day of school! He wore his purple name tag everywhere for the first couple of weeks: to church, to the grocery store, to bed, to the potty, everywhere! It is now safely placed in his baby book!

Carter on the last day of school! He wanted to take his picture in front of the bushes! Because we leave quite early, the moon was still out and he was captivated!

In the car on the way to school! Don't worry, we were at a stoplight! He was so excited!
Carter having fun on the playground at the end of the year picnic! I was thankful to be able to share in this special time with him thanks to some of my sweet friends at work. Daddy was under the house putting in new pipes, so we will forgive him for missing!!

Now, this little cutie is Carter's very special friend, Ashley! We have been hearing about Ashley all year! You can clearly see how much he adores her! Miss Lisa, the other two year old teacher, told me on Thursday he was holding her hand and singing, "My Valentine!" He has also professed his love to her! Yikes! He is going to be quite the charmer! Ashely's mom and I agreed on the playground yesterday to an arranged marriage for our children! What a sweet family! Carter, we are so proud of you and so thankful for the blessing of you! We look forward to watching you grow for many more years! We love you very much!
