		<title>Dreams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I woke up late and had only one thought in my head. It was a quote from my dream. I have no idea what my dream was about, but I figured maybe someone could come up with a concievable context. Here is my quote,
Senior frog is just Junior frog&#8217;s fat ass friend.
Have fun.

		<title>More Bathroom stories.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to the impression likely given by these posts, my children are not generally rascals.  Generally, they are bubbly, interesting little beings who mostly do not cause a great deal of trouble and mostly do not deliberately defy their parents to their faces.  But their sins are far more interesting than their &#8220;good&#8221; behavior.  For [...]]]></description>

		<title>It smells like something&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I feh-ow on mouse poopy.&#8221;
Wow.
Navayah entered the bedroom with an amazingly putrid smell.  I have lived with my dad&#8217;s gas, with a handicapped older sister, and with my own children.  Both sets of grandparents lived on farms most of my growing up years.  I have a strong stomach, but the stench of my youngest daughter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saving it for later.</title>

I watched The Guppy (aka Navayah) lay on her tummy, kick her her feet and sing parts of the alphabet song in her too-loud, off-key voice.
&#8220;Mom.  Mom.  Look.&#8221;  She held up her two thumbs.  Little crusty boogers coated them.  Her thumbs moved toward her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nakedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;And they were both naked&#8230; and were not ashamed.&#8221; (Gen 2:25)
Yesterday it took Eli about 45 minutes to get dressed.  Then his friend Joshua came over, and they played outside.  Being boys, they do not tend towards tranquility, do not create tiny houses or have tea parties or sit on a blanket and tell stories.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first two solid weeks of this child&#8217;s life were probably some of my least pleasant.  The older three children were &#8220;detoxing&#8221; (thanks for the word, AnnMarie and C.O.!) from grandparents and Mommy-attention, then a camping trip with all the attention of the other two grandparents for a half a week, then being shipped to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boys and violence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It rained copious amounts last night and this morning, which had the effect of turning the dirt space behind our back door into one &#8220;giant&#8221; mud-lake.  Add to this the arrival of Joshua, Eli&#8217;s best friend and an only child.  Joshua has great creativity, a strong will, a short fuse, and incredible strength.  It is [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Strong-Willed One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She was about two days old when we noticed the vast difference between Navayah Emeth and the previous two children.  She was less than a week old when we realized she would have been more aptly named Chara-Kai-Thumos (Greek for Joy-and-Fury) instead of this hopeful name that means &#8220;beautify (or extol) the LORD of faithfulness&#8221;.  [...]]]></description>
