Only doubt is that we've been fighting a cough and runny nose with my younger son for about three months now and it has been keeping us home.   At this point the doctor says allergies and put him on some medication that 'should' fix this in the next two weeks.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Danette Zeh</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:26:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Picture Perfect</title><link>http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2013/03/picture-perfect/#comment-836289771</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Awesome! :) You can see some more photos here: &lt;a href="http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2012/04/green-spring-gardens/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2012/04/green-spring-gardens/"&gt;http://www.nova.joytroupe.c...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">joytroupemommy</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:37:17 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Picture Perfect</title><link>http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2013/03/picture-perfect/#comment-836280000</link><description>&lt;p&gt;ok, no worries.

(Any moms of big kids want to chime in if you're planning to come?) Because of the venue I would say he'll probably enjoy himself regardless, but obviously you are the best judge of that for your kid. I hope to see you there.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">joytroupemommy</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:05:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Picture Perfect</title><link>http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2013/03/picture-perfect/#comment-836227957</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Meghan, what's the age range of the kids for this outing?

I have a daughter Lila, who will be 2 in December, and a son   Liam, who is 4 months.  They are my world and I feel so blessed.  My husband and I just moved here from North Carolina.  We belonged to a wonderful mom's group there and really miss it.  We are really happy to be here and can't wait to explore what there is to do.  We are excited to meet new kids to play with and look forward to making new friends.  I am interested in book, running and social clubs.  And I am a coffee and sweets lover!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Willow Haan</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:29:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: SNEAK PEEK: JBF Prince William County</title><link>http://www.nova.joytroupe.com/2012/09/sneak-peek-jbf-prince-william-county/#comment-803209282</link><description>&lt;p&gt;great post! i missed seeing you there, but glad you found some awesome finds! i snagged a northface jacket for my 4 year old for $20!

I do daycare and havent used this playground exactly for that reason. Would be tough watching 3 of them on there. And it does get hot as there is no shade. The age limit doesnt deter my 3 yo, but it depends on your childs level of mastering some of the things on this playground. My grandson really enjoyed it though&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michelle Wyatt</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Sep 2012 13:57:53 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
