We are a family of five that first of all
loves the Lord
and second loves all the wondrous creatures
God has made. (Well may be not spiders so much).

Nile and Deborah are married and have three
lovely daughters ranging in age from 12 years old
down to 6 years old.

Raising three girls would keep most people plenty busy, but
these parents find a way to make time for loads of other stuff.

Nile is the worship director of two different churches.
He sings, plays guitar and pretty much any other instrument he picks
up. He also recently returned to school at California Baptist
University for a behavioral science degree. All of that is when
he is not being Dad to the three girls and helping with loving and
cuddling bunnies and dogs and cats as well as all heavy
"Dad type" cleaning chores.

Three years ago Deborah started teaching nursing.
In the last few years she finished her Masters in Nursing (MSN)
and am now an assistant professor at California Baptist University
in their nursing program.

As if she was not busy enough, she was recently began a Doctorate of Education Program at Regent University. She has found she loves teaching
as she enjoys her students very much.
She feels teaching gives her a wonderful chance to encourage people
with God's Words. When she has the spare time, her other
favorite activity is gardening.

The three girls share their parents love of the Lord
and animals as well. They enjoy playing with the
bunnies and going to shows. They spend a lot of
time cuddling babies and helping care for them.
Even the youngest who is only 6 years old
helps clean the cages!

This helps to assure that the rabbits raised here
have stable and outgoing personalities. It can truly
be said that at
Carter's Critters "bunnies are a family affair."

In addition to the family's
Holland Lops, Lionheads and Netherland Dwarfs -

Both are of the jumbo variety,

and an almost as large
Burnese Mountain Dog named Heide.
