		<title>eater of crayons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We visited my sister down in Auburn yesterday. Lydia&#8217;s cousin, Elizabeth, has these excellent crayons that are mostly encased in plastic.

		<title>normalcy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sam and I have colds and are feeling a bit under the weather. Lydia is wandering around the house wearing her &#8220;cleaning gloves&#8221; and refusing to take them off even to eat her cheese. Then there&#8217;s Renton, recently drunk from a vet visit, rolling around on the floor and trying unsuccessfully to jump onto the [...]]]></description>

		<title>the one where the hospital tries to kill me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You would think I would have copious amounts of time to sit about and write blog posts while being on maternity leave, but I have managed to keep myself busy with other parts of life. There was also the most horrible sickness I think I&#8217;ve ever had, a foul thing known as mastitis, which had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing a lot, it&#8217;s just all been on the kids&#8217; site. You can go over there to check out the story of Samuel&#8217;s arrival, from the countdown to the liftoff and the ascent. There will be an orbit as well. Not only have I been getting Sam used to the camera, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>they always find the cat people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years the soil around our house foundation settled, which created an annoying cave underneath our sidewalk and front porch. We&#8217;ve been meaning to get it filled back in, but it&#8217;s in a tricky spot so we still have our cave. The cave now harbors a mama cat and six (at least) [...]]]></description>

		<title>what Renton did</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this evening I think I got a few people curious by tweeting that Renton did the nastiest thing ever. So nasty, in fact, that I wasn&#8217;t sure if I could write about it . . . Well, I&#8217;m over that, so if you still DON&#8217;T want to know, then read no further. Seriously. Early [...]]]></description>

		<title>conversation with a toddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night the three of us were sitting at the dinner table together. This is actually a rare event since Lydia insists on eating right when we walk in the door after work and school, but this time she was content to sit with Steven and me while we ate our food. Lydia amused herself [...]]]></description>
