Rockstar of the week

Carter is "rockstar of the week" at school, which means he gets to take home the class teddy bear, named Snowflake, and take some pictures. Each day of the week, the class celebrates Carter in some way. He brought in a Lego toy for show and tell today, and yesterday he showed off a poster board we made at home that was all about him.

Here are his pictures with Snowflake. He's showing Snowflake how to play the DS and showing Snowflake one of his karate weapons.

One more soccer photo

I love the 3-D look of this photo.

He shoots, and scores!

Carter is in his third season of soccer now, and he finally scored a goal! His teammate Ryan sent an excellent pass right to Carter, setting up a showdown between Carter and the other team's goalie. Bam! The goalie didn't stand a chance.

Carter was absolutely thrilled, and it gave him a huge burst of confidence. He also got the team medal that day for getting his first goal.

Now he really wants to score another one.

School picture

Here's Carter's spring second-grade picture. I probably shouldn't have sent him to school in a green shirt!
