		<description><![CDATA[October has been a crazy fun month&#8211;so busy in fact, I&#8217;ve had no time to write. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[We spent yesterday afternoon sitting around a backyard campfire with a group of friends from Aidan&#8217;s Junior Great Books club. 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>

One of the activities that Aidan has been participating in is a drop-in art class. Last week seemed an especially busy one and the thought of leaving the house by 9am [...]]]></description>

A time when school was going to start back up and summer fun was going to come to a screeching halt. As I got older it still mark an end, but in much more real ways. [...]]]></description>

We recently got together with Aidan&#8217;s longest known friend (the daughter of a dear friend of mine that I&#8217;ve known for quite some time). The two of us [...]]]></description>

Our most recent adventure took us to the gateway city&#8211;St. Louis. Now, I didn&#8217;t know too much about St. Louis, but in my imagination I kind of likened it to vacationing in Gary, Indiana [...]]]></description>
