Carter's Story

My photo
This blog is a look into the life of our nearly six year old little boy, Carter. When I was just six months pregnant, an ultrasound detected that Carter's brain was missing its corpus callosum and he also had hydrocephalus. Doctors even told us that our little boy may not walk, talk, etc... but abortion was never a choice for us because we firmly believe that God does not make junk. We look at Carter now and praise God for the miracle he is! Carter loves to play, and he CAN walk and talk! Carter is continually proving himself to us, to our families and to his teachers. I have been priveleged to be able to stay home with Carter, Camden and Elliana since November of 2006 when Carter was born. I am so thankful I am here to hold his hand and face his challenges right along side of him. A mother's love only grows, this I know. Some days may be challenging but always worth it at the end of the day.

A new revelation..

Over the past couple of days, in preparation for Cody leaving for Canada...I have been constantly reminded how much I love my husband and my boys. Thank you Lord for giving me this reminder in a new and different light.
I have thought about how very different my life could be if I hadn't met Cody 8 years ago..and how very blessed I am to have him in my life. Thank you Lord for my husband and for my two boys.
Today as I sat on the couch, feeding Camden, he fell asleep..so peacefully. I couldnt help but think what happened exactly a year ago today, Camden was born! And as I look at him my heart skips a beat because of the happiness and joy Camden has brought to me..I think, "Wow, Lord..you have entrusted these two wonderful little boys to me and Cody." Carter at the same time was getting exhausted...he went and got his pillow and brought it to the couch...he wanted to hold my hand. The next time I looked at him, he was sleeping! I can't help but also think of my Carter today while reflecting on the past year since Camden was born. Carter has been through so much and I truly think that everyone could learn something from Carter if they spent time with him. He is a miraculous little boy. How I love my family.
Thank you Lord for this new revelation when looking at my family..they mean more to me than words could ever say!
