		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s that time of year again. We look back at our accomplishments and failures from last year and strive to do better/more next year. Yeah&#8230; I&#8217;m looking forward to hitting the breaks. It&#8217;s time for Maria and I to reflect on our accomplishments but in the mind frame of &#8220;Are we happy?&#8221;. And I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it happened. Far sooner then I imagined. I knew it would come, perhaps in five or so years, but not today. I was wrong. Isabella and I went outside to play in this winter&#8217;s first snow. She went over to her friend&#8217;s house, coaxed her outside, and turns to me. &#8220;Dad, you can go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I remembered how nice the simple things in life can be. We have a tradition in our house of doing Christmas light rides nearly every night from Thanksgiving to New Years, so tonight we loaded up the car and took the Mecca to Olin Park. Boy was it packed!! The kids had an absolute [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, we experienced something I never thought would happen to us&#8230; A kitchen fire. We were prepping for dinner and Maria walked past the stove and noticed flames, sparks, and smoke, oh joy!! She called me inside and I immediately sent everyone to the neighbor&#8217;s house. I was able to put out the fire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems crazy how life takes twists and turns. I sit here in the dark, rocking my snoring son Noah to sleep for the fifth time tonight. Thoughts race through my head on how life was and how it might be in the future. It&#8217;s sometimes hard to stay grounded in the present, without drifting [...]]]></description>

But, what you don&#8217;t see are the changes I have been making (and that&#8217;s good ). I have updated the site to the latest and greatest versions of software, so please let me know if you come across [...]]]></description>

Maria and I have been to the yard waste drop site 4 times already this fall and have dropped off almost 20 bags of &#8220;stuff&#8221; (not including the 3 currently in the garage&#8230;).
