Five on Friday...but not actually posted until Monday

1) Brinnly used the sign for "more" for the first time today. She was on the swing at the park and decided that she wanted some of the big kids' crackers. Another mom noticed it first, and then she signed again for me. And wow, was she proud of herself when I gave her those crackers.

2) We had a fun and productive Memorial Day weekend. Jonathan made good progress on touching up the paint and fixing the water-damaged ceilings at home. Why is there always an endless to-do list for home owners?

3) And on the topic of houses, we have now been in ours for four years. I could live the rest of my life in a Cape Cod. Comfortable and spacious at the same time.

4) Since we all needed to be out of the house so he could work and the paint could dry, we stayed in a hotel one night. We used our all-time favorite site, priceline.com to book a fabulous, 3-star nearby hotel complete with full kitchen for only $35. If you've never used that site to book hotel rooms, you're missing out. You get to choose the location, star level, and dates, just not the specific hotel. Once you make a bid, if it is accepted, the hotel is booked for you. We usually pay around $35 for a room and have never been disappointed. I think priceline is tied for craiglist for my favorite cheap website.

5) There's a new Lutheran radio show in the works. Check this link.
