		<title>Merry Christmas To All, 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas! Once again, it&#8217;s been an eventful year for our household&#8230;especially since it started off with two of the very best gifts ever.
Geitra, Neil, and Amelia were thrilled to welcome our twin boys Gabriel and Adrian to the family on January 22nd this year. They arrived about a month early, and although they were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcoming the Boys &#8211; A Video Slideshow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been remiss in posting pictures of the twins and their big sister to the blog lately, but hopefully this slideshow will make up for that a little bit. We hope you enjoy seeing how much the boys have grown in just three short months.
By the way, Neil put this video together as a surprise [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Twin Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, the twins are about two-and-a-half weeks old now, and we might be starting to settle into a rhythm. The first week was pretty challenging, because Gabriel started having some problems keeping his food down after a feeding due to reflux. With some help from the doctor and Mylicon, we found the magic combination and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday Letter 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Family and Friends&#8212;
Merry Christmas once again! Yes, we realize that it&#8217;s only ten months since we published our last Christmas letter (OK &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s day letter&#8221; was more like it), but after last year&#8217;s debacle we resolved to do much better this year. We didn&#8217;t quite make our goal of getting our cards mailed right [...]]]></description>

They have a cool &#8220;Pumpkin Chuckin&#8217;&#8221; event that features all kinds of ways to destroy leftover jack-o-lanterns! They also have all kinds of farm displays, activities, and toys for the kids to play [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a great time with Amelia this Halloween &#8212; she got a few fun holiday outfits from Farmor (aka &#8220;Grandma Judy&#8221;), and had a great ladybug costume that she used to win &#8220;best all-around&#8221; in the little kids costume contest at church. She also had a wonderful time trick-or-treating with Mommy, Daddy, and Nana [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Pictures of the Boys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had another brief ultrasound appointment last week to get some new pictures of Baby B&#8217;s heart&#8212;he was bashful last visit, and the technician really couldn&#8217;t get nice shots to ensure everything is OK. So with a little time and more growth, back we went to get new pictures. And again, both Baby A and [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a Boy &#8212; And So Is the Other One!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that&#8217;s right &#8212; we&#8217;re now expecting twin BOYS, not just twins of the &#8220;unspecified&#8221; variety. We got some really nice, clear pictures during our ultrasound appointment on Thursday, and both boys felt like showing off a little bit. Luckily, their nursery is already decked out in shades of blue with a nice &#8220;moon and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things we&#8217;ve been working on with Amelia lately is getting her to speak more than one word at a time&#8230;it&#8217;s been a minor frustration over the past month or so, in fact. But last night, we had a bit of a breakthrough &#8212; after a couple weeks of coaching, Amelia said &#8220;I [...]]]></description>
