After six years of trying, Kristal and Chris Carlson had already given up on having another baby. They already had four children, but wanted another. Then one August day in 2013, Kristal found out she was expecting. On March 28, 2014, a beautiful baby girl was born, and they named her Eden.
“Her birth was a miracle,” Kristal said.
Yet Eden wouldn’t need just one miracle to make it in this world.
She was the sunshine of a caring family, growing up in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with her dad, stay-at-home mom, three brothers (ages 11 to 17), and an 18-year-old sister.
