Carter's First REAL Date

It finally happened...after nine months of waiting, Carter got to have a date with his beloved Elizabeth. We invited them over for lunch (them being Elizabeth and her mom). Being the devoted parent that I am, I arranged for Bella to stay at Nana's house during the date so Carter wouldn't have to share his girl with Bella. Carter inquired ahead of time what Elizabeth wanted for lunch and she said shrimp. Yes, shrimp. Definitely the girl for Carter. So, they had shrimp, chicken nuggets, and popsicles for lunch. They were like two peas in a pod. Really, the most adorable thing to watch. Elizabeth's mom and I visited. They are a nice family. Elizabeth's dad is a pastor of a local church and we share very similar values. Carter has such good taste. Elizabeth is a tiny little thing with long blonde hair and big brown eyes. They played outside and inside and got along beautifully. Elizabeth has three brothers, so she's game for anything. I think the favorite was swinging on the branch of the tree out in back. Ahhhh, parting was such sweet sorrow. Carter could not take his eyes off her as she and her mom walked home. It was a date he will always remember...or I will, anyway. Maybe I'll take a picture of them and add it to the post...
