House News

Jeff and I are excited to announce that we found a house!!! We made an offer, and after a little haggling (they demanded that we keep their nice, new washer and dryer), we came to an agreement and we are now under contract!! So we are definitely moving to Greenwood. (Not that it wasn't definite before, but now we will have a place to put all our stuff.) Here are some photos:




And possibly my favorite part, the master bath: But first, a reminder of what our current master (and only) bathroom looks like:
And now the new:


When you compare our future bathroom with our current bathroom, you get a much better idea why I'm so excited. There is counter space! and a nice tub! two beautiful sinks! level floors! new fixtures! natural light! a nice window! a big mirror! that is right behind the sink!! and even enough space to turn around!!!

And in our new house we will have a whole two and a half bathrooms!! That's three total toilets, and two showers!!! Jeff and I could both use the toilet AT THE SAME TIME and still have ONE WHOLE toilet leftover! And the bathrooms all look nice, with nice tile floors and lovely white gleaming countertops. I guess you never imagined that a person could get so excited about a bathroom. But I can.

And when I think about the fact that the lovely wooden fence means that we will have space for a dog, I think I might burst from excitement. (Hopefully not in the new house, since that would leave quite a mess on my walls.)

Looks like you could accomodate an extra family of 6 quite nicely. So when can we move in with you?

:) What a great house! And understanding completely your excitement about the bathroom. We have one toilet here and it is not uncommon to see a line waiting to use it...

I LOVE it! Your bathroom excitement is totally understandable; there are still days when I rejoice over our multiple toilets. My favorite part is that guests don't use our bathroom. My least favorite part is that it means our bathroom gets cleaned about half as often as the one downstairs ...

wow - level floors in the bathroom. I love it! I can imagine that kind of excitement over a bathroom. :-) Some day. . . . .

The house is fabulous!

Congratulations!

What kind of washer and dryer?

Jeff, we need a little guy talk here -- what's YOUR favorite part of the house?

Also, we know of a little whippet puppy that needs a home (not ours).

Ken,

Thank you for asking. I have several favorite parts. I love the back yard and the garage. Its hard to choose my favorite. Is it the garage, or is it the fact that the refrigerator has a water dispensor thingy on the front of it? Man I love those water dispensor thingys. Fresh cold water on demand. That's hard to beat.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs -

And Then There Were Three!

For all those who have been looking for news... we have news! It's a boy!!!!!! Judah Anthony Tell was born last night at 6:15 PM. He's a healthy baby boy with light brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and 22 inches long. Both Judah and Aubrey (and Jeff) are doing well. "She bore a son and said, 'This time I will praise the Lord .' Therefore she called his name Judah. " Genesis 29:35

The "Go" Bag

Our bags are packed and in the car. This, I assume, ensures us several more days before the little one arrives. :) Even though my bag is already in the car, I decided to do some research on what the mighty expert known as Dr. Google would have to say about it, just to make sure I do have what I need. There were obvious things, like something to wear home, something for the baby to wear home, a toothbrush. (These I could figure out for myself.) Then there are some outdated things. For instance, almost every list I saw told the dad to bring "change for a payphone, calling card, and a list of phone numbers." Since when does someone these days need change for a payphone? Every 15 year old pregnant patient I've delivered has either made a phone call or sent a text with in minutes of giving birth. Even my Mennonite patients use the cell phone in the delivery room. And they all also still say to bring camera and film . Which also seems like a somewhat quaint suggestion. I did se
