		<title>Little Einsteins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dax has been a fan of the Little Einsteins for pretty much his entire life and he is thrilled to be introducing his baby brother to them now. For the first few times Dax forced him to watch, Devin just sort of stared and then looked at me as if to say, &#8220;What&#8217;s the deal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penny for his thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sometimes I just sit and watch him and wonder what he&#8217;s thinking. In this picture he&#8217;s sitting at the Aquatic Park in San Francisco watching the pelicans dive for their breakfast. I imagine he&#8217;s plotting a way of lassoing one so he can hitch a ride out to the ship and take to sea. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m watching my friend&#8217;s daughter tonight and I&#8217;ve been texting her every so often when the kids do something amusing or sweet. Or weird. Y&#8217;know, because you don&#8217;t want to miss your kid&#8217;s weird moments.
Here&#8217;s the last exchange:
Me: She&#8217;s having a blast in the tub right now although she did tell me she&#8217;s &#8220;making wine&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Devin&#8217;s 15-month checkup I was prepared for all the milestone questions I knew I&#8217;d be asked. This is, after all, my second time around on this mom thing. I was also prepared to discuss my one concern with his pediatrician; he was 15-months old and not talking.
It was a minor issue. He seemed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beautiful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dax found an old picture of me today. &#8220;Who&#8217;s THAT?&#8221; he asked me, wide-eyed. I asked him who it looked like. He looked from the picture to me and back again. &#8220;Is that you? You look BEAUTIFUL in that picture.&#8221;
Awwww, so sweet. Isn&#8217;t it? Well, before you get all melty know that it quickly went [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight before my workout I ran into the instructor in the locker room. I said hello and started to walk on past her and then I was inspired. I stopped her and I told her how much I enjoy her class and I also shared how many calories I&#8217;d been burning (courtesy of the ever-present [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some days are harder than others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son has been chosen to perform a small solo at an upcoming Christmas pageant at his school. They sent &#8220;lines&#8221; home with us to practice and I thought it was going to be part of a traditional Christmas carol (this is, after all, a private Christian school) but it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s a rap. My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium this weekend and the exhibit was SEAHORSES! which I can&#8217;t help but yell excitedly in my mind much like my 5 year old shouted it when he first layed eyes on some.
SEAHORSES! are awesome. We learned a lot about SEAHORSES! while we were there. Did you know that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I moved from Colorado to California almost 13 years ago. At that time I wasn&#8217;t thinking about missing or needing my family. I wasn&#8217;t thinking about my future children and whether or not they would have grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles around. I was only thinking about me and what I felt I [...]]]></description>
