		<title>Visit to the Space Needle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Steve&#8217;s parents visited over Thanksgiving and we all went up to Seattle, WA for the weekend. On Saturday we went to Apple Cup, the annual football game between the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and Washington State University (Skin those Cougars!). In case you hadn&#8217;t guessed, it&#8217;s a bit of rivalry between the two schools.
It [...]]]></description>

		<title>This just in&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the too cute to not share department, we present Josie and Robbie modeling the latest in children&#8217;s eyewear.  I was working in the garage yesterday when I walked in and found Robbie laying on his mat looking like this.  
I then noticed Josie had on her pair and realized she dressed her [...]]]></description>

		<title>See you at the fair!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Clark County Fair happens at the beginning of August every year.  We went for the first time when Josie was a baby and had so much fun that we&#8217;ve made sure to go back every year.  This was Robbie&#8217;s first trip to the fair and I think he enjoyed it as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>We met Cubby!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who knows me knows that I&#8217;m a huge Disneyphile.  I&#8217;ve been collecting Disneyana for years.  I think I was around 12 or 13 when my collection really took off and I started buying stuff at the antique show.  I&#8217;ve got quite a collection now, which Steve is kind enough to help [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Bumps and Hot Springs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And once again it&#8217;s time for another Abbott family update.  We&#8217;ve had a busy time recently with family visiting, going to the Clark County fair (another post will be coming on that), celebrating our 5th anniversary (YAY US!), and dealing with a pretty bad infection.
Robbie came down with a nasty staph infection which started [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s been the best of times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It really has been the best of times.  Yes, having a newborn in the house can be tough and we&#8217;ve had our moments of meltdowns (all of us!), but we really have been loving it.  Robbie is such a joy for us.  He is 8 weeks old now and smiling up a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Labor pains and false alarms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, no baby yet, much to Helene&#8217;s chagrin.
Helene has been going through a lot the past couple of weeks. She&#8217;s been having contractions with time intervals ranging from once an hour to every five minutes. And in the past couple of days there have been been added, bonus sensations that I won&#8217;t go into here. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dodger has a new home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are happy to report that Dodger has found a new home!
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we had to give Dodger up because our changing family and his high energy lifestyle were not working out well. We were very sorry to see Dodger leave but Steve will be the first to say that [...]]]></description>
