		<description><![CDATA[My oldest daughter is 13 years old. Walking into the bathroom after her is like walking into a data center as they&#8217;re pulling cable. Wires everywhere. Terminating in flat irons, curling irons, curlers, and myriad other energy sucking devices. Only 5 more years to go. Hopefully. But then two other sisters wait to follow in [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;re probably reading this through RSS, so the change won&#8217;t be visibly obvious, so you won&#8217;t see that andyerickson.org points to an about page.

I love the way you curl up to read a good book
I love walking with you
Your desire to always work through the hard things with me inspires me
Your lists let me know you always consider our family
You make me smile as you stack the kids&#8217; cereal bowls on the counter for the next morning
