How to parse this xml received from a client using lxml?
I will be using lxml objectify.  First I need to get first child (This
is where I am stuck.) and assign it to the python model.  Get second
child and assign it to the python model, so on.   I looked at the
documentation, it's kind of hard to grasp for a newb.

Thank you.
