The Post You Have All Been Waiting For!
(thanks to an unexpected snow day!)

Sitting with his "girlfriends"

Looking for Mommy!

Aren't you supposed to be kneeling Carter?

The royal introduction to the King

And now for some video......



This scene is Carter's "big one" where he was chosen to go under the King's legs and pretend to be sleeping. During this rehearsal, you will notice he had to be coaxed a little and the King had to shimmy into place to pull off the scene!



This scene is one of my favorites where Carter is praising almighty Buddha! You will notice Carter in the front row and he does get hidden at times by Anna's skirt. Hang in there, he reappears at the end!

Carter Steals the Show!
I cannot even begin to express the emotions I felt when I saw my baby boy sit on the stage during his first performance and take his cues. I was full of such pride, joy, fear, laughter, astonishment, and all the other emotions that come along with this thing they call parent hood! As Jim and I watched him I felt a renewed sense of family as well. I am so proud of the man I chose to marry and the beautiful life we created in Carter. And let's not forget about the little personality that Brady is beginning to demonstrate as well. Carter was fantastic last Saturday night. He remembered where to sit, he attempted to dance with the royal children, and I even heard him singing at times. At one point, I was laughing so hard, I think I began to cry a little. I was so overwhelmed with what I was seeing and had to keep reminding myself that he is only three and a half. Jim and I feel like we have found one of Carter's many talents. For those of you that can make the performance, you are in for a treat! For those of you who cannot, I am sure Dad will have at least one or maybe 500 copies of video lying around! Jim and I must send our kuddos to Pop also. His part in the play is pretty great too! Our love to all!
