		<title>The Sagittarius and The Capricorn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend&#8217;s birthday festivities turned out to be a non-stop, action-packed gauntlet of celebratory chaos.  We opted for a change of venue for this year considering Steve and Stella were both hitting one of those multiple-of-five birthdays.  Essentially, we didn&#8217;t think we already had enough going on during the busiest and most expensive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy 5th Birthday, Stella!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Stelly,
This week, you turned 5.  Five. Years. Old.  

It is exciting, nostalgic, almost surreal to realize that it has come this far this quickly.  I don&#8217;t want to be the cliché mom who tells you how it all went by so fast, but IT ALL WENT BY SO FAST!  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pirates, Princesses &#038; Patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are back from our 5-day birthday extravaganza, unpacked-ish, laundered-ish, and very sleep deprived.  I am now facing a barren Christmas tree in my living room, Thanksgiving decorations scattered throughout the house, various memory cards to be emptied and uploaded, as well as a couple of blog posts to write (sorry Stel, your birthday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revolving Door</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, I made a snap decision and decided to haul myself and the kids down to the valley for an impromptu visit.  Although the grandparents were a little taken off guard, it was a nice opportunity for the three of us to get out of town and let Steve have some time alone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year someone carved her entire pumpkin by herself.  The other one dictated what he wanted and insisted His People take care of the details.

		<title>Super P &#038; Princess Clam Boobies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you already had a preview of Stella&#8217;s confection of a costume, however you&#8217;ll notice I didn&#8217;t make much to do about Porter&#8217;s selection for this year.  And if you guess that it&#8217;s because he would have nothing to do with THE COSUME HE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED then you&#8217;d be absolutely correct.  While Stella [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Waning Days of Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the upcoming time change, our days are going to turn inside out.  Not only are the kids going to start getting up at like 4 in the morning now, but the evenings - as we know them - are going to be gone, baby gone.

		<title>The Great Debate: To Swing or To Slide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a time, back in the day, that Stella and I would walk to the park in our old neighborhood and I would spend the entire time pushing her on the swing.  We are talking 45 minutes straight.  I even figured out a way to incorporate an abdominal muscle workout timed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Body Language</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This lovely frock arrived last Friday.  As you can see, she is trying to keep herself from exploding into a glittery pile of Disney princess micro-particulates.  Even the graininess of the photo doesn&#8217;t mask the raging boil of joy that erupted the moment she slid into it&#8217;s iridescent embrace.  Saying she loves [...]]]></description>

I am very much enjoying the shift in the weather.  It has gotten colder and clearer and the few trees that have [...]]]></description>
