		<description><![CDATA[We were surprised to learn that Lucy needed glasses, but definitely not surprised to see how cute she looks in them. Photo: Here&#8217;s Lucy in one of her new pairs of eyeglasses. Her other pair (which she prefers) appears below. A couple months ago, we took Lucy for an early vision and hearing screening with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year, Lucy has been exploring her femininity in new ways. And much to my delight, it is more complex than one might think. Photo: What are you looking at? Never seen a ballerina leap off brick walls in a raincoat before? For probably two years, Lucy has been a dress-wearing girl. It probably started [...]]]></description>

A few months ago, our good friends Linda and derek asked me to be the doula for the birth of their first child. I&#8217;ve been interested in natural childbirth for several years, and I had been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost exactly two years ago, we initiated Lucy into the diaper-free community. This time, it&#8217;s Rosie&#8217;s turn. I was pretty nervous when we potty-trained Lucy. I remember having real anxiety and sleeplessness, mostly over the lack of control I had in containing excretory matter in our home. But I feel a lot more optimistic and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rosie is fully exploring her power these days, and I am having varying levels of success keeping up with her. But the other day, we learned something together. I have been noticing for a few weeks that Rosie has been embracing her two-year-old will with great energy. We experience daily struggles over buckling seat-belts, getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our fourth birthday celebration for Lucy was pretty standard as Boyd parties go &#8212; but very special for one little girl. See for yourself (and then read on): But let&#8217;s roll back the tape several days. After much anticipation, Lucy&#8217;s birthday extravaganza was officially kicked off earlier in the week at preschool snack time. A [...]]]></description>

We had our first meeting at Grace Evangelical Covenant Church last Friday morning. I brought some low-fat banana cake, which was dry, frosted with a lovely high-fat caramel glaze [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring is birthday season around the Boyd house, and Rosie enjoyed hers fully. Family and very close friends joined us on Sunday, March 14, to celebrate the completion of Rosie&#8217;s second year ex utero. We were impressed that Rosie was able to fit into the same dress Lucy wore on her second birthday &#8212; and [...]]]></description>

I remember being very excited about Lucy&#8217;s due date on Easter Sunday 2006 &#8212; an especially hopeful day after our series of miscarriages. And of course, I&#8217;m definitely in [...]]]></description>

Plus, I think I&#8217;m finally over most of the mommy guilt, so I&#8217;m able to talk about it without kicking myself too hard. Photo: Rosie on her birthday, complete [...]]]></description>
