		<title>2011 Festivals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer is ending unfortunately, so wanted to quickly recap the 2011 festival circuit. We hit several festivals this year, most of them while Julie was working so she didn&#8217;t get to partake in all of the good times. Ava really loved them, and sno cones and cotton candy were helpful while her jaws were wired [...]]]></description>

		<title>Put In Bay, 2011!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Family vacation #3, and we made a repeat visit to Put In Bay and stayed about 4 doors down from where we were last year!

		<title>Soccer, Ava&#8217;s First Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early in the spring, before monsoon season struck, we signed Ava up for soccer with the WOAC. She waffled between excited and nervous but in the end we think she enjoyed it. The cost was annoying, $90 for essentially 3-4 practices and maybe 4 games because of all the rain. Our most popular piece of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Container Gardening (2011)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tried some halfhearted gardening last year, and it did not go well. I think there were 2 problems. First, I didn&#8217;t make a dedicated space for planting, just kind of planted along the side of the house in some areas. Second, the soil around here is full of clay and I didn&#8217;t invest in [...]]]></description>

		<title>DIY Drainage Pipe Repair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed what look liked a snake hole in our garden for a couple years, and thought it was odd but never really investigated it. My father-in-law looked at it last summer and pointed out that it was actually a broken pipe. I didn&#8217;t know this, but the downspout empties into a PVC pipe that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easter Egg Hunts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We hit the Mercy HS egg hunt and then the one at Harvest Home. The latter was pretty weak; they didn&#8217;t have enough eggs, we picked a bad starting spot and Lily and Ava went 0-fer. They did have the creepiest Easter Bunny costume I&#8217;ve ever seen!]]></description>
