Earlier in September, Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday was celebrated at the Fox Theatre with special tributes and musical performances. 

"It's a great honor for my family to be able to share my grandfather. These are people, some of whom weren't even born when my grandfather was the president, who are just excited to be here and celebrate him as a human being beyond politics, beyond legacy and other things," his grandson Jason Carter said at the celebration.

Former President Jimmy Carter's family says his mobility isn't the same, but the 99-year-old is in high spirits and looking forward to his birthday.
