		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, we made the trek again out to beautiful St. Charles, IL to take in the 2012 inHome Conference. As usual, it did not disappoint. We arrived early Thursday afternoon to register and get ready for all the conference had to offer&#8211;and I mean ALL it had to offer. Aidan refused to miss a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had a nice preview of spring today with a near 70-degrees and partial sun, so we took a walk in the forest preserve. Aidan didn&#8217;t miss the opportunity to reacquaint himself with the earth&#8211;quite literally. Here he is transforming himself into &#8220;mud boy.&#8221;]]></description>

This is a post-processing app with many filters and features to affect overall image, background, and framing. It&#8217;s really versatile and free to boot.

Aidan&#8217;s been getting more and more interested in superhero comics lately&#8211;Wolverine in particular, so when Chris stumbled upon news of the show, we figured why not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris scored a coupon to the Chicago Auto Show, and since none of us had really been before, we thought we&#8217;d check it out. None of us are really &#8220;car people,&#8221; so our appreciation for the show was probably more about aesthetics and cultural observation than about automotive design and technology (although it was neat [...]]]></description>

So, to keep the blog alive, I threw together a quick montage of snapshots in the video below. We&#8217;ve been hiking, going to fall fests and carnivals, visiting nearby cities, hosting parties, pumpkin hunting, and trick-or-treating to name a [...]]]></description>

They had been reading folktales and recently read the classic folktale &#8220;Stone Soup.&#8221; You know the one&#8211;about the pilgrim who comes to town and tells the hungry town folk that he can make soup-enough-for-all from [...]]]></description>
