Carter as a writer

I was at the elementary school getting ready to watch the boys dress rehersals for the DI competition when the principal approached me. I put on my best smile and expected the worst. She came up and said, "Did you see the story that Carter published in the 'Husky Gazette'?" I told her I hadn't. She said, "It was great. I was very impressed. I meant to call you about it."

Of course, I became curious. I had seen something in the parent newsletter about the Husky Gazette coming home but I never look at it as my kids have never been "published" before. I asked Carter's teacher for a copy and I, too, was very impressed with his improvement in writing this year. I am so proud of him.

My Place
Carter Eden
I have a wonderful forest near my house. It's beautiful there in many ways. Pine trees hold a scent so strong. All the leaves show bright colors like yellow, red, brown, orange and more. Frogs ribbit in the forest and birds sing happy songs. Every time I enter, I build a habitat and think, "This is my world."
