Yesterday we celebrated the best boy I know as he turned 10 years old! It’s always very exciting to move to the realm of double digits!

Some things that Carter loves right now include:

• Star Wars (especially light sabers!)
• Reading–Big Nate comic books, Wings of Fire graphic novels, Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians +
• Sports–soccer, basketball, four square, cross net, swimming +
• Building–legos, kiwi crate style stuff, stuff with Dad, light sabers +
• Video games–Super Smash Bros, Star Wars games, Mario Party with the fam, Hogwarts Legacy +
• Hanging out with friends
• Pokemon cards
• Riding Bikes, scooters, skateboards and taking them to the skate park
• Playing trumpet (he reports that it is far superior to piano)
• Doing math

Some things that we love about Carter right now include:

• Watching him get excited about all those things he loves
• That he does his chores just about every single day
• That he cares deeply about his people–family and friends
• That he wore shorts 95% of the days of winter
• Going to his soccer games, listening to him practice trumpet, and going to band concerts
• Hearing him call up the stairs and say “start my time!” when he has earned his screen time
• That he is still the best brother to all his sisters and the best son to his parents

We love Carter a million million! He is such a fun dude to have around!
