A Little Piece of My Heart

While this week has been fabulous in every way this morning I'm missing a little piece of my heart. When I hear sweet Carter's voice say "I love you" on the phone it makes me melt. I can't wait to wrap her up in a big hug and smooch her!! So, in case you're needing a little Carter fix too here is just a little bit of what she's been up to.

My mom (bless her heart) has been entertaining Carter all week. I know she can keep a body busy so I appreciate this more than you will ever know! Carter has been a part of "Art Class" at my mom's studio...
they've had a date to the zoo...
she learned to channel her "inner nerd"...
not to mention baking, movie watching, and one of Carter's fave's dog walking (which I might add ended in my mom walking both dogs while carrying Carter home)...
My mom also took Carter to her sweet friends farm. I am going to guess this has probably been the highlight of the week. Carter was able to help gather eggs...
feed the chickens...
and pay a visit to Cookie and her calf Gingersnap...
At this rate she may never want to come home!!

This morning it hits me a little harder what a gift it is to get to be a mom...

Farms are wonderful for her age! So glad to know she's having such a stimulating time while an ocean separates you two!

Dear daughter, I must say that I had the time of my life! Carter is a delight! Wise beyond her years, a joy 24/7. We had so much fun together, we became 'buds'! I will miss her terribly. Thank you for this opportunity. It was a gift I'll never forget. I'll look forward to the next time. I love you.
