		<title>She Keeps On Rollin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we already wrote about just a few days ago, Mara has been making some new accomplishments lately. This weekend was no exception. On Sunday we got Mara&#8217;s bike out and were doing some practicing. First, we did some balancing and we tried to do that by mimicking a Strider which is a bike with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Weekend of Firsts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend the family got the chance to visit with some friends a little south of here at Badin Lake. We had a great time down there given the hospitality of our hosts.

		<title>Until Next Time Lisa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is a sad day in the Evans&#8217; household. Lisa will no longer be visiting us. In honor of her last day we asked the kids a few questions and we are posting them to Mara and Campbell&#8217;s blog. Here are Mara&#8217;s answers. Q: What is your favorite thing to do with Lisa? A: Play [...]]]></description>

		<title>Off And Bowling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The kids are pretty lucky. Yesterday, Lisa decided to take them out for a little bit of bowling. I actually don&#8217;t think I have ever been bowling with the kiddos myself? Mara and Campbell love it. They are using the ball ramps or guides (what are they called?) so there isn&#8217;t any independent play yet, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Hoppers Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Wednesday we got the chance to go to a Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game. It was courtesy of RF Micro Devices as they did a company outing for a free game. We got there early in order to use the opportunity to get some dinner. The kids just love hot dogs at the ballpark. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easter 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday the family went out to get in the middle of an Easter egg hunt. One of the local radio stations puts on an event at the farmer&#8217;s market and we went to check it out. It was bigger than we expected. They had some booths for promotions, some vendors of the typical carnival [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zebras, Zebras, and Zebras, Oh My!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past Saturday we celebrated Mara&#8217;s 5th birthday. The theme was zebras, and Mom organized a wonderful party for the little miss. We had a few activities to keep the kids occupied. For the most part they went off with no issues, which was great. First we started with a zebra puppet craft. It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Losing It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago, Mara complained that she had hit her mouth on something. Like most occurrences like this that are not seen by the eyes of Mom or Dad, getting details was a little sketchy. What was clear, however, was that Mara said one of her bottom teeth hurt and now it was loose. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skating For The First Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just this past Saturday Mom came up with the idea that we should take the kids ice skating. They were really excited and had been anticipating it for a couple of days. When we got to the rink that day we were surprised to see that the parking lot was full and the place was [...]]]></description>

And they do things in their own special way, don&#8217;t they?&#8221; Mara &#8211; &#8220;You&#8217;re special too dad. And you do things in your special way. But I am special-er. Because I&#8217;m a little girl with beautiful curls. It&#8217;s not that there&#8217;s no one else that [...]]]></description>
