Carter Scott Ward is here!

Carter Scott Ward was born November 7, 2011 at 12:06 pm via csection. he weighed in at 8 lbs 13 oz and was 20 inches long, a pretty big guy, but not as big as the ultrasound last week said he was measuring at (9 lbs 10 oz). mommy and baby are both doing very well. Daddy is so proud to have a little boy. and Alix is in love with her baby! she tries to comfort him when he cries and she likes to fist bump him since his hands are always balled up. welcome to the world little guy!

Alix's first Trick or Treating

on friday night, October 28 we had our ward's trunk or treat. since Alix is too young still to care about real trick or treating and i'm too pregnant to take her out we went to the church and she trick or treated from classroom to classroom. she was dorothy from the wizard of oz, complete with her little basket and toto dog. Erika was her buddy the tin [wo]man.



and of course Carter and i had to dress up. we were a mama and baby skeleton :P
