Our New Pooch!

This morning the Tell family officially expanded by one. We went to the humane society to pick up our new dog. She just got fixed yesterday, so she's pretty groggy this morning, and is mostly just laying around, with a little bit of walking around and sniffing.










































And here she is getting all taken care of by Aubrey...





































We are still without a name for her, and perhaps you can help us out here. The people at the humane society had named her Strudie, but we think that's ridiculous. We chose a few names that we liked, and we've narrowed it down to either Lucy or Wrigley. What do you think?

Dear Strudie,
I'm sorry your name is so weird right now. My name was Easy when mom and dad adopted me, so there is hope for you, too. They almost changed my name to Lucy, but since I got Jessie, I think you should be Lucy. I hope we get to meet soon.
Your cousin,
Jessie

Dear Strudie,

What's up with Strudie? Is that like a strudel? Those are good - raspberry, cheese; I'll take them any way I can. I also had a weird name when my mom and dad adopted me - Beauty. While I am beautiful, I ain't no beauty. Beauty is a horse's name, not a name for squirrel and rat conquering champion hound dog like myself. You look like you could rustle up some nice rodents yourself, so I vote for Wrigley.

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 -

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 saga of our roof or Why you should never hire Ideal Development Concepts.

I was reading Megan's blog today and could totally commiserate with her about her recent customer service woes. I then realized that I never really posted anything about it here, and now that the whole thing is settled, I thought I'd fill everyone in about how the whole thing went down. Back in June, a strong thunderstorm knocked down a tree in our yard such that it side-swiped our roof and knocked off our gutter. Since we were all home at the time, we were thankful it wasn't a more direct hit and that there wasn't more damage. This is what the damage looked like. Not too bad, but just bad enough that we were told that essentially the entire front half of our roof would need to be replaced. Mostly because there would be almost no way that they would be able to match the exact shade of green in our current shingles. Our insurance company quickly sent out an adjuster and approved the repair. They suggested a company called Ideal Development Concepts that they said the
