Carter reduced his corporate travel schedule, choosing to spend every precious moment with his growing family at home.

The security team maintained vigilant 24-hour patrols around the estate perimeter, ensuring absolute safety for the infants.
Every evening, Carter carried his newborn children through the grand foyer, showing them the framed American flag on the wall.
