Carter Ming

Today is Carter's birthday - 

his 7th to be exact.

Carter is my nephew, the son and youngest child of Rob's brother, Bryan and his wife, Jenny.

Carter, we were all so excited when you became part of our family.

Through your parents' blog, your Uncle Robert and I followed every step of the way when you were joining our family - from the very first orphanage photos shared all the way to when you arrived home.  I printed many of the photos out and made our "Carter" book. 

When your mom and dad flew to China to your "gotcha day," your Uncle Rob and I got up really early to see the first family photos that your parents posted.  You were so cute!  And you still are! 

Even though you won't remember him, I am glad you got a few chances to spend time with your Uncle Robert and that he got a chance to know you.  These photos are my favorite ones of you and him.  We were at Paw Paw Jim's house for his 70th birthday and you and Rob were playing dinosaurs with just your imaginations and your hands.  It was fun to watch and fun to photograph.  He loved you and was proud to be your uncle. 

Carter Ming, I have loved you since I knew you existed and I am blessed, grateful, and glad that I have had the opportunity to be your Aunt Janna!

I love you - always have and always will!

Love, Aunt Janna
