		<title>Still no walking&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an update, Skye remains unable to walk without holding onto something.  She&#8217;s officially the last kid in her Gymboree class to remain on all fours&#8230; Doctor assures me she won&#8217;t be crawling into preschool so I&#8217;m not going to worry.  I&#8217;m thinking I&#8217;ll have to chase her around soon enough!
Oh, she still won&#8217;t allow [...]

		<title>Hunters Green Elementary &#8211; Poor Choice?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is true that I toured private schools and ultimately ended up crossing my fingers when my School Choice lotto results came in.  I was so ecstatic that we had been approved for Hunter&#8217;s Green Elementary&#8230; it is, in fact, a Blue Ribbon School in a nice area.  Everything was going to be perfect!
We start [...]

		<title>Phillips Reunion &#8211; 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every few years, the Phillips clan gathers together to catch up on all that&#8217;s new.  When my grandmother was alive, it seems she insisted that this event take place much more often, but I guess everyone does the best they can with busy schedules and such.
The Phillips clan, as I refer to them, is essentially [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As soon as the holidays ended, Skye&#8217;s birthday rolled around on January 9th.  Because of that, as well as the weather conditions, we decided to have a more intimate celebration at home with just family.  Hopefully, she won&#8217;t hold that against me one day when she realizes that Aidan had a big picnic celebration at [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s to the end of 2009&#8230; an eventful year that welcomed Skye into the world, started Aidan in kindergarten, gave Luke a new employer and much more! This is one year that I certainly can&#8217;t complain about.   
To each of our family and friends, here&#8217;s to a happy, healthy and auspicious 2010&#8230;

This year, we spread the love and decided not to have a big celebration at our place.  Instead, we spent Christmas Eve with Luke&#8217;s [...]

And, she&#8217;s getting in two more teeth up top and has finally started eating food with a little texture to it.  I&#8217;m going to dabble with the food processor at some point to try and whiz up some culinary creations.

Of course, I managed to [...]

It&#8217;s been a couple of years since our pediatrician started warning of his enlarged tonsils, and I admit that the poor kid always seemed to have a runny nose and cough.  Sinus infections get nasty [...]

		<title>2009 Road Trip &#8211; Helen, GA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 3rd pit stop on our southeast road trip was Helen, GA.  It was a lot closer to Asheville, NC than I thought so we were there in no time at all.
For this leg of the tour, we opted to rent a cabin.  I found Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals online and booked their &#8220;Natural High&#8221; cabin.  We had [...]

The drive up went fairly quickly, although the &#34;are we there yet?&#34; comments did start about two hours in.&#160; Fortunately, Luke had purchased [...]

And, she&#039;s sleeping through the night&#8230; well, she would probably sleep through the night if I didn&#039;t wake up around 5am every morning frantic that she&#039;s going to starve to death!

		<description><![CDATA[Fowling in Aidan&#8217;s steps, it has become clear that Skye is having reflux issues.  At first, the signs were subtle.  I noticed she was starting to spit up quite a bit.  By quite a bit, I mean she was spitting up puddles anytime you laid her down and some of the time when you were [...]
