December 6

Sunday nights are always hard. I'm not sure why Sundays are harder than Mondays, but I guess trying to get ready for church, trying to make sure the kids behave at church, and the lack of our normal routine has something to do with it. And sunday night dinner is always a struggle. I should probably try to use the crockpot more or something, but most Sundays we have pancakes for dinner. Not super healthy, but I did start making them with cottage cheese to increase the protein content. And they are fast and everyone loves them. I don't know if anyone is still even reading our blog, but if you are and you have tips for how to survive Sundays, I would love to hear.

Judah got to start with morning with a quick game of scrabble with Gramma. We start 'em young around here.

 And Naomi especially loves pancakes, as you can see here.
 This is my two youngest trying to make themselves burp. Yes, even the baby likes to try.

So happy to see you blogging again - and yes, people are reading! Scott and I do take-and-bake pizza every Sunday night; this has been our tradition for about four years now. Thin crust, light cheese + healthy toppings make it seem like less of an indulgence, but it's still something fun to look forward to. Most of all, I like not having to think of what to eat... or do much prep work at all.

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
