It’s Martin Luther King Jr. day here in the US and I’m grateful to be spending the holiday with family, easing into what will likely be a challenging week (what, with the Inauguration and all). I was reading through old posts inspired by Dr. King…

Currently | January 2017
CURRENTLY | JANUARY 2017 I don’t want to jinx it, but I think I’ve finally recovered from President Obama’s Farewell Address… which was Tuesday night (i.e. nearly 48 hours ago). Baby Nick woke up bawling just seconds after the President said “Michelle LaVaughn…

Winter rest
This time between Christmas and the New Year has turned into the perfect little winter rest. Nick had a few days off from work, we let Grace play preschool hooky for the week, and welp… baby Nick, Clark and I live on a very flexible schedule…
