Madisyn Sage Anderson

Madisyn Sage finally joined our family at 12:41pm weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds 5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Maddie and Shelly were doing so well by the next morning that the doctor let them come home. It hardly even feels like we left home.

Anticipation

On Monday we called Shelly's doctor to request if she could schedule a time to come in and be induced since her arthritis has been flaring up so bad. He told us to call Wednesday morning to make sure that the Labor and Delivery department wasn't crowded so that she could go in for voluntary induction. We just called and looks like today is her lucky day. We are getting ready to head up to the hospital right now and hopefully will have some news for everyone really soon.

Temple Square Carriage Ride

Every year we go down to Temple Square to see all of the Christmas lights and to take a carriage ride. We decided to go a little earlier than usual this year since there is no way we would try and go after Shelly has the baby. Shelly's sister Alicia and her boyfriend joined us. The kids' favorite part is getting hot chocolate and waving to all of the other horses.

Pinewood Derby 2008

Adam had his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby a few weeks ago and it was a lot of fun. There were basically 3 kids that kept getting first and second in all of the heats. Adam ended up tying for second place after 20 or so races and so they had a 4-heat tie breaker which he won keeping him in second place overall.



The video below is one of the races where Adam actually barely beat the car that ended up taking first place. (His car is in lane 4 - the farthest from the camera) All of the parents had a blast talking smack and we look forward to next years derby. For next year Adam is already asking to try and design a car that looks like a big boat for some reason.
