Getting the parent node only in XML

i have following bit of xml, file called "thexml". want able read first , second children of peice of xml without reading children. i.e. want app1 , app2

<application>
<app1 name="app1">
<module id="1"/>
<module id="2"/>
</app1>
<app2 name="app2">
<module id="3"/>
</app2>
</application>

i have following bit of code, instead of getting 2 nodes want, nodes , children

thexml.child("*")

that gives me

<app1 name="app1">
<module id="1"/>
<module id="2"/>
</app1>
<app2 name="app2">
<module id="3"/>
</app2>

how 2 nodes app1 , app2?
