Dear Carter Christopher,
Words will never come close to describing the joy that overflowed our hearts today when you made your big debut!
We are head over heels for you.
It has been a whirlwind of a day, but before I rest, I had to capture my favorite memories of the day:
- The unexpected, last-minute decision to fly to see you ... on the day you were born! It is worth every single penny.
- Going crazy in the Chick-fil-A with Mom, Linda, and Sonny when your dad called to tell us you were here. And the mail man who looked at us funny from the next booth over.
- Getting to fly with your Kaki. She was out of her mind!
- Picking up lovely flowers for your lovely mom, some fun balloons for your room, and some food for your dad on the way to the hospital.
- Seeing your mom and dad hold you like they've done this a hundred times before. They are naturals.
- Picking up your Gigi from the airport and getting to see her meet you for the first time. It was so tender.
- The elevator in the apartment breaking, and having to lug your Gigi's luggage (two weeks worth of clothes, by the way) up seven flights of stairs. We love you a lot.
- All the family and friends that were calling and texting and asking for your picture. You are such a celebrity already!
And so nice to meet you.
=====================================
** 08.27.11 update** Your Gigi isn't Gigi anymore. She wasn't feeling the connection to that name, so now she's Emmy. You won't know any different, or have a complex about your grandparents' identities or anything, but when you're old enough to read this, you'll think it's funny.
