		<title>On Your 5th Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Nolan,
I am writing this for your 5th birthday.  You can&#8217;t understand why five is so hard for me.  Five is the end of preschool and the beginning of a whole new part of your life.  You are growing up before my eyes and there are just some things I want to record before the moments slip [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=150&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>YES!  I love these lists!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can remember &#8216;laughing out loud&#8217; when I heard Dave Letterman announce that the phrase &#8220;you do the math&#8221; was to be banned in the new millennium.  As a lover of words, this article just makes me smile.

		<title>Paths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is an update for those who are wondering why in the world our Christmas cards have a California return address.  (It might also explain, if not justify, why they are SO late.)
Most of you know that Tim was employed with McGraw-Hill Higher Education.  Some of you also know he was being considered for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=120&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I am off down the road
Where the fairy laterns glowed
And the little pretty flitter-mice are flying
A slender band of gray
It runs creepily away
And the hedges and the grasses are a-sighing.
The air is full of wings,
And of blundery beetle-things
That warn you with their whirring and their humming.
O! I hear the tiny horns
Of enchanted leprechauns
And the padded [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=113&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

maggie and milly and molly and mae
maggie and milly and molly and mae
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn&#8217;t remember her troubles, and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=107&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Back to School, SoCal Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Fall is here, hear the yell,
Back to school, ring the bell,
Brand new shoes, walking blues,
Climb the fence, books and pens,
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

		<title>Olympic Randomness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, I must acknowledge that my thoughts tend towards Olympically-Proportioned-Randomness  at all times&#8230;not just during the Olympic season.
Having made the above disclaimer, I must further state that I have missed gigantic portions of this year&#8217;s games because WE DID NOT YET HAVE TV SERVICE!
Now that this problem is solved, I just have a couple of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=98&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

One is silver and the other gold.
A circle&#8217;s round, it has no end.
That&#8217;s how long we will be your friend.
 
We sing this song at the beginning of every school year at DLC.  Somehow it just seems appropriate.  Thank you to all the kids&#8217; friends and their families.  We loved [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=95&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fingerprints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started reading in Esther today and was reminded of this&#8230;
From John MacArthur&#8230;
Why isn&#8217;t God directly mentioned in Esther?
&#8230;When it comes to God, Esther seems strangely silent.
   In fact, the silence is so obvious that it becomes an argument.  Esther challenges the tendency to demand that God prove His power and presence.  Must God be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalienarrative.wordpress.com&blog=1002006&post=91&subd=natalienarrative&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
