		<title>February Kid Updates I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time for another round of posts probably most interesting to the grandparents. . . the girls&#8217; updates will follow shortly.
ANDREAS is 110% boy.  The kid is obsessed with dinosaurs, planes, trains, boats, and cars.  He adores pushing/flying/driving his little toys around the house.
















He frequently latches onto one or another of them in an [...]]]></description>

(Umm, you&#8217;re about a month late, aren&#8217;t you?!)
Well, technically, yes.  Technically, the new year began on 01.01.2012 . . . which was a month ago. . .  but allow me to explain why I am deeming this the start of the &#8220;new year.&#8221;
New Year&#8217;s Eve is my least favorite holiday.  It brings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race Report: ING New York City Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hard to believe that the BIG RACE was two and a half months ago.  I know this is a WAY delayed race report, but I wanted to post it anyway:
We drove up to New York City on Saturday, November 5, and arrived in the early afternoon, as incident-free as can be expected with 3 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthdays in Iowa!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you were turning 3, you would probably find it confusing that big people tell you that there is a special day called Christmas, which involves cutting down a tree, decorating it, and then placing presents under it.  Consternation must mount when you are then told that Christmas is actually a birthday party.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry and Bright</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For Christmas this year, Caleb and I decided to give each other two gifts:
1) a new roof for our house in DC; and
2) a new digital camera.
The first resulted in a bonus third gift- something we usually choose to forego:
3) Credit card debt!!!
So though gift #2 made us merry, you may think, &#8220;In light of [...]]]></description>

		<title>One.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One year ago today, Maria Joy burst into our lives.  Her dramatic arrival sometimes seems like just yesterday. . . and sometimes seem like six lifetimes ago.  So much has happened in the past year, between Caleb&#8217;s graduation and job hunt, our move to Baltimore, a trip to Germany, and the adjustment to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ready</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sitting down to eat lunch, nervously wiggling my toes and trying to still the butterflies in my stomach and the adrenaline racing through my body.  I haven&#8217;t been this nervous about a race since my track and cross-country days in high school.  
It has been a LONG road to get here, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Expelled from Kindergarten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Simona was nearly expelled from Kindergarten.
What?  Sweet Simona, kicked out of school within the first month?
Yes.  Back in early September, we received a letter from the city school board that three of her immunizations were not up to date and that she would need to be fully vaccinated  by September [...]]]></description>

		<title>C-food Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember that old joke about the &#8220;see food&#8221; diet?  (If not, please ask your local 11 year old.  I&#8217;m sure he/she can fill you in.)
Well, I&#8217;ve decided to try my own version: the C-food diet.
My motivation stems from the fact that Maria is approaching 10 months old, and I still feel [...]]]></description>
