Quick post.

Judah, Jeff's mom, and I all went up to VA this weekend for a wedding. A good time was had by all.

Judah turned one-half year old.

I became that mom this weekend. The one who brings her baby to a wedding when she's been told that it's for adults only. I don't feel very bad about it. I decided I was uncomfortable leaving him with someone I didn't know at a hotel a half hour from the wedding site. He didn't make a peep during the ceremony. He didn't eat any of the food. And we left before he got all fussy at his bedtime.

I got to see Judah meet his only great-grandma. He gave her his big, gummy grin. She loved it.

Judah really was quite the charmer. He's (for the most part) such a mellow baby that he let everyone hold him and just smiled at everyone. I was thankful we had the chance for him to meet a lot of Jeff's family. I have a bunch of photos to catch you up on.

Next weekend is his baptism, and so more family will be here then. If any of you blog readers can come, consider yourself invited. At Liberty Springs Presbyterian Church in Cross Hill, SC. 11 am. Lunch to follow.

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
