		<title>a longer update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, where to start? There&#8217;s been a lot going on in the past few months. I guess I should start by going back to October or so. I posted then that I was looking for a job. Things were tight, and we have already been living a bare-bones, no luxury budget for a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<title>a new look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone! As you can see, I&#8217;ve updated my blog template. It was about time; when I&#8217;ve opened my blog recently the orange &#38; red seemed garish and overwhelming. This slimmed down, simple, clean look feels much better!
I&#8217;m still working out the kinks and customizing things, so bear with me over the next few days. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Years Old!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dear Elanor,
Today, you are two years old!
I typed that and immediately got a little teary. I can’t believe it’s been two whole years since you were born and became a part of our family. What a wild and wonderful two years it’s been!
There are not words to describe the depth of my love for [...]]]></description>

		<title>a very merry Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a great day yesterday! We stayed in San Francisco and our friend Kim (and her puppy Fipo) came down from Seattle for the holiday.
I&#8217;ll let the photos speak for themselves.

		<title>a typical evening with our spirited child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We ordered Indian food for dinner tonight, which Elanor ate with relish. As we were cleaning up, Brett put on the new Jay-Z song and we started taking things into the kitchen. The next thing we knew, Elanor was on top of the table, dancing away. So we did what any responsible good&#8230;er, uh&#8230;parents would [...]]]></description>

		<title>my first tattoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I surprise myself, which I did the other night, when I did something that I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d ever do.
I got a tattoo.
I know, right? Me? A tattoo???
Believe it or not, the evidence is below.
Our friends Graham and Emily are friends with a guy named Chuck, who is a traveling tattoo artist and long-time [...]]]></description>

		<title>thankful, v.2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I disappeared and failed again on the NaBloPoMo thing. There&#8217;s been a lot going on this week; I may be able to share some potentially exciting developments here tomorrow, if things pan out. I hope.
Anyway, since it&#8217;s Thanksgiving as I&#8217;ve done in years past, I&#8217;m going to talk about a few things I&#8217;m thankful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Settlers of Catan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, no! I almost missed posting today. I&#8217;m making it in just under the wire here.
Tonight, we played Settlers of Catan with some friends. It&#8217;s been a recent obsession for Brett and me; I&#8217;d played it a few years ago with our friends Katie and Jon but Brett had never played it until a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>cold remedies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Annie, your plea worked. I&#8217;m going to try to finish out the month, posting every day. It will be a good exercise for me in posting more regularly, I hope.
Today, since we are victims of a cold at our house (even our houseguest Nate has caught it&#8230;I feel awful about that), I&#8217;m asking for [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaBloPoMo FAIL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sigh. I failed. Miserably.
Here&#8217;s my defense: first, my keyboard stopped working, just before NaBloPoMo started. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, then my computer charger died and the battery on my computer was so low that it died, too. Then, I tried posting from Brett&#8217;s iPhone but Wordpress did NOT like the iPhone so typing a [...]]]></description>
