Five on Friday

1) Happy 32nd Anniversary to my parents, Gregg & Sandy Shunkwiler! Enjoy your dinner out tonight.

2) Speaking of the Shunkwilers, the mayor of Valparaiso, Indiana has declared April 2008 as "Kara Shunkwiler Day" for her "hard work, dedication, and devotion to her neices, her students, and fellow faculty at Valparaiso High School".

3) From signing to speaking...this week Brinn making "Ba" sounds and quickly transitioned to "MaMaMa". No complaints here!

4) It's been a traumatic week for Mali here, with the Pittsburgh Penguins losing to the Redwings in the Stanley Cup finals. We've all jumped on that fan bandwagon lately, with Mali leading the way. The girl loves her "Pengos"! She even asked us to pray for them the other night at bedtime and interrupted us mid-prayer to clarify the "hockey pengos" as opposed to the "zoo pengos". She's been carrying around the newspaper pictures of the "sad pengos" from the day after the loss ever since.

5) We hoped to have a big announcement about our friends, The Ryans, and their new baby, but no such luck. We tried to explain to Mali today that Kellie was maybe a little sad because the baby wasn't here yet, but Mali thought we meant that Kellie too was sad about the "Pengos". Anyway, we do love the excitement of waiting for a "I'm in labor" phone call!
