		<description><![CDATA[So, Jared and Jacob&#8217;s hair is getting a little bit long and Tristan already has a stylin&#8217; doo&#8230; The natural solution of course is to trim Dad &#38; Jacob to match the little guy!

		<title>It&#8217;s all about the pictures, isn&#8217;t it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a crazy few weeks! We can hardly believe that Tristan is already 2 months old. He is growing quickly and putting on the pounds.

		<title>Getting out of Dodge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, after all the excitement of the Flying Fish Festival, we decided that it was time to get out of town and have some time for ourselves. So, Sunday after the parade, we packed ourselves into the skiff and motored out to our sailboat for our first overnight sailing trip!


True to form, we got off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the much anticipated event has occurred and we are now a family of four!

Tristan William Ruplinger
7 lbs, 6 oz.      20.5 inches
Because there are only limited medical facilities in Avalon, the majority of children are born in Long Beach rather than on the island. After a single false alarm, many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pay it Forward! Finally!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes&#8230; It is I&#8230; This is my first entry on our blog.  Yay, for me.
I can&#8217;t believe I am actually writing a blog post.  It&#8217;s soooo crazy.  I have the free time now, since I stopped working, but not quite the energy I would like to have.  The simplest things take [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Amazing Kid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hey Dad! That&#8217;s the plant that we use when we have an owie!&#8221;
&#8220;Really? What do you do with it?&#8221;
&#8220;You break it off and then you squeeze it up and then you put it on a cut.&#8221;
&#8220;Who told you that?&#8221;
&#8220;Nobody&#8230; I just know.&#8221;
&#8220;What kind of plant is it?&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s an Aloe Beara plant. (laughs) Silly Dad!&#8221;

&#160;

&#160;
Just Kidding!!!!

		<title>How about Christmas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas everyone! What&#8217;s that you say? Christmas is old news? Well, not if you are keeping up with the Ruplingers! Three month old postings are our specialty.
We expected things to be a little different having Christmas over here. No snow, 70 degree weather, and only one Toy store within 90 minutes of travel time! [...]]]></description>

Or at least that&#8217;s how we used to get them home! We aren&#8217;t lucky enough to have a golf cart anymore. Nowadays we make Jared haul everything home!
