		<title>The Rain Delay is Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It hasn&#8217;t completely escaped my thoughts that there are more people who have read, and continue to read this journal beyond those that share either my last name or portions of my DNA.

		<title>Mother&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We celebrated Mother&#8217;s Day this year by heading down to the ballpark on a gorgeous Spring day with both kids in tow.

I&#8217;ve been waiting for this weekend since last Sunday afternoon.
