			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WOW!</strong> It has been forever since I updated!!!!  I really don&#8217;t know where to start&#8230;..</p>
<p>Jack is now 10 months old, a super fast crawling machine, that just took 2 steps yesterday.  He is into EVERYTHING!!!!  He makes the silliest faces and loves, I mean LOVES attention.  Doesn&#8217;t not comprehend the word NO although we are &#8220;reinforcing&#8221; it! :)  He literally still just eats, then sleep, eats, then sleep, eats, then bedtime and inbetween all of those EATS.  The kid is a pig!  You wouldn&#8217;t know it though he is only 33%  in his height and 44% in his weight.  He has quite the personality and I have never seen anyone RUN as fast as he can in a walker!!!</p>
<p>Levi is so big!!  He is now 3 yr. 3 months and thinks he is 5 going on 45.  don&#8217;t ask me&#8230;he likes those numbers at the moment.  He loves EVERYTHING about Christmas, and thinks Donald is Sinterklaas and I am Zwarte Piet (only you dutchies out there would find the humor in that) and mom, before you start laughing too hard, he thinks you are Zwarte Piet too!  Opa gets to be sinterklaas!</p>
<p>Donald gets to have his gallbladder removed tomorrow!  The home remedy did NOT do the trick, and so surgery is the only permanent solution.  After the attacks he had, he had no problem agreeing to it.  So tonight Levi is at Uncle Ron and Aunt Sarah&#8217;s house, having his first &#8220;spend the night&#8221; other than grandparents, and Jack will head to Uncle Alex and Aunt Rebekah&#8217;s early in the morning, so that I can be with Donald.  He is <em>so </em>going to milk this for all it&#8217;s worth!!!</p>
<p>We have our BIG 5 year anniversary this Saturday.  We will have the day to ourselves- but Donald may still be medicated so who knows if he will remember it or not <img src='http://www.ourrushfamily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I promise to post new pictures soon until then enjoy some of these below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">The last 3 years we have designed our own Christmas cards.  I will admit this year&#8217;s has been tough.  I just can&#8217;t seem to get &#8220;the look&#8221; I want.  Even Donald spent some time on it ( and definitely wasn&#8217;t achieving the look I was going for!)  We are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold">finally</span> finalizing it and sending it to print.  Who knows if you will get one before Christmas, but they are on the way.  We will just blame them being late on the slow postal services!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold">Enjoy a few sneak peeks!</span></p>
