		<title>Whidbey Island Fall Minestrone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fall and time for soup. I picked up some beans, squash, kale, onions, garlic and beets this week from the &#8220;Endless Summer&#8221; an off-season order and pick up service put on by several Coupeville area farms. So, I checked with Alice Waters and she had just thing for us&#8211;fall minestrone with kale and butternut [...]]]></description>

Password is &#8220;LotsOLove&#8221;. Seven Hundred and Thirty Days of Love from Sydney Markle on Vimeo. And, here is a full account of our wedding day.]]></description>

		<title>Twenty One Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think just writing that last post was cathartic for me. All of your comments were very helpful. I asked for tough love and I received pure love&#8211;and an unexpected boost in productivity. So, I&#8217;ve taken the advice given and made use of the time given to me. Bren is most amiable fresh after a [...]]]></description>

		<title>183 Days/26 Weeks/Six Months</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bren just had his six month check up. He was 21 pounds and 8 oz.—the 97% for weight. He was in the 85% for his height at 27.5 inches. And his head was 46.2 cm, again in the 97%. The doctor said he was very healthy, communicative and engaging&#8211;but we already knew that. I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Sixteen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Chris' turn to help the nurse, since I did it during his 2 month check up. He said he felt Bren's whole body reverberate with the shot. Horrible. Bren turned bright red and screamed. Horrible. You want to protect your children from all pain, but some pain is required to make it through this world.]]></description>

		<title>Wearing Bren</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We really like carrying Bren. We live upstairs so getting a stroller in and out of the house is pretty hairy. And we're fairly attached parents and like having him nestled right up next to us when we are out and about. ]]></description>

		<title>Double Rainbow, Double Swaddle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, this was my status update so I&#8217;m cheating. But it is so amazing, allow me to elucidate (I love using my GRE words). At the hospital, Bren was swaddled, he always got out. And once we got home, I tried bundling the little guy up because I heard it was very soothing for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life As We Know It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does this come with a manual? After 6 weeks of irregular sleep, diapers to numerous to count, and long sessions of bouncing and cuddling, my maternity leave is over—both from work and the Internet. Actually, it was over last week, but transitioning to the new schedule left me little time to actually make any note [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mingling Hands and Mingling Glances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its poetry time again. This week, I&#8217;d like to feature a magical poem that my husband recited to me several years ago that began the foundation of my unending love for him and his mind and heart. The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats WHERE dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poetry Is</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just read that April is National Poetry Month. I’m quite fond of poetry, though I wouldn’t call myself any kind of scholar when it comes down to it. But I have discovered a few poets that I really like Mary Oliver, Raymond Carver, and more of the usual suspect. I’d like to feature a [...]]]></description>
