		<title>What Does A Geek Get His Wife For Their Anniversery?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Google Map of all the places they have been together in their 13 years together, of course!  Last year I made this list for her, and I wanted to keep the list theme going, but with a twist.  The first pin I put on the map was the place we met: the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Christmas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Lord has truly blessed us this year: our home is nearly finished, He gave me a great new job, and we are joyously awaiting the birth of our eighth child, Micah Kathleen.  God is good.  Don&#8217;t forget to take time this Christmas to thank Him for all that you have and all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sad News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sorry to have to write this post, but Valerie and I went in for a check up this morning and the doctor was only able to find one beating heart.  Sometime between last Saturday and today, Micaiah&#8217;s life ended.  Valerie expressed our feelings much better than I ever could with &#8220;When [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Hearts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Rink just did a quick ultrasound and we saw two strong heart beats! That means that the surgery didn&#8217;t damage the placenta too much and that both girls are still getting nourishment. The question now is did the surgery do enough to even out the blood supply? Only time will tell and Valerie will [...]]]></description>

		<title>So Far, So Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pastor Mike just left after reading Psalm 103 and praying with us. I spoke with the surgeon around 1:00 and he is pleased with the outcome up to this point. He mentioned that both girls hearts were beating strong when the procedure ended, but that we will know more in terms of how successful thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surgery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The three options to correct TTTS are: 1.) do nothing, 2.) drain some amniotic fluid, and 3.) operate on the placenta to try and correct the imbalance of blood flow to the girls. We have a great sense of peace that the third option is the best because it increases the chances that both girls [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twin Girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know we have been secretive about the gender of our twins, but we have been trying to wait until we had their names picked out before blabbing.  After the doctor visit yesterday, we can officially announce them: Micah &#038; Micaiah.
Because the girls share a placenta, they are identical twins. Their names are actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ok, I Just Had The Best Espresso EVER!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We spent the day out yesterday tooling around Athens, Ohio.  It&#8217;s where my best friend grew up and we wanted to go back and see how the old town was fairing.  We went by Valerie&#8217;s old house, the elementary school she attended (which has since been torn down), the park where she used to skin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Double The Fun&#8230;And The Stress!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took the day off from work today and went with Valerie to her mid-term ultra sound reading.  This was particularly exciting because, as most of you know by now, there are two little souls in my wife&#8217;s pear shaped, hollow organ which made for a much more interesting time.  As a biologist, I always [...]]]></description>
