Welcome to the Carter blog. There once were 5 of us, then we grew to 11, then 14 for a short period and now are about to be 12. Some may say we are actually ONE EGG SHORT OF A DOZEN for choosing to have a large family. We hurt and cry and sometimes yell but then again we laugh, forgive, and have fun much more! We call ourselves FAMILY. Join us on the adventures we seem to fall into on our adoption journeys and family life. You never know what you will find!

Koki comes to stay with us for Spring Break!
Koki, a Japanese student at our local university came to stay with us over spring break. He has stayed with us in the past and we all enjoyed having him.
He just loved him to death and all the other kids kept him going with their joking around and talking. I was afraid we might be too much for him but he seemed to enjoy himself a lot. He stayed with us then on the day he left we had the African Children's Choir guest coming that night. So our house was quite busy for 12 days.
Eli was pretty much glued to Koki's side the whole 9 days he was with us.
Graham and Koki
Graham taught Koki how to shoot squirrels with BB guns. Here they are hanging out in the back yard by the Tree house waiting to spot some. Poor Little Squirreleys! Thank goodness they were bad shots!
