Thanks.

I want to post a short list of things I'm thankful for. Although, I'd like to do it without getting all bogged down in that deep, heartfelt stuff, just simple, shallow things I'm thankful for. So if you're family, or a friend, or a blog reader of any sort, know that I'm thankful for you, even though you might not appear on the list by name.

I'm thankful for....

1. the taste of woodchuck cider.
2. the feeling of coming home after being away.
3. the fact that my dog squeaks when she yawns.
4. the fact that my in-laws have satellite tv. its good to veg out for a while, and just enough to make me glad I don't have satellite tv.
5. the anticipation of going to bed when I'm tired (like now).
6. my library privileges.
7. my BibleWorks software.
8. any good pun. (who am I kidding? any pun at all)
9. anticipation.
10. cookie dough.

Interesting. Despite my desire to post a nice shallow post, its hard not to mention all the other more significant wonderful things I'm thankful for. And of course Aubrey tops that list. I'm very thankful for her. I'm more thankful for her than I am for puns. And I like puns quite a bit.

Jeff, Prior to reading this post, Melanie and I were just talking about your love for puns, and ours too. We laughed at a silly and slightly mean one about Hillary being the new Hitler: or Hitllary...And then we said, after no Rampeys laughed with us, that Jeff would have enjoyed our pun. We think that the non-Rampeys are the ones who really enjoy the puns the most (not that the Rampey's don't... you know what I'm saying.) We too are thankful for puns.

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 "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
