“We read Wordsworth out loud to distract the hours, but France was not poetry; it was peasants. At last, knowing my distress, Shelley secured us places on a barge that floated out of France and down the Rhine. Was it better? Smug Switzerland. Drunken Germany. More wine, I said. And so we passed our days, underfed, over-drunk, longing for the soul and not knowing where to find it.” #goodreads #jeannettewinterson #jessreadsbooks
When two passports love each other very much... 🤣 All jokes aside, this is great news! At 5 weeks old, baby Clara has her first passport and is ready to fly. We miss 🇺🇸 and are counting the days! 💃🏻 #expatlife #expatfamily #firstpassport #francoamerican #bilinguallove

“sweet dreams til sunbeams find you...” Clara is 1 month old today. She’s alert and curious and already seems to enjoy listening to stories. She’s soaking up franglais every day. She has a wide range of goofy expressions, loves bathtime (Dad’s area of expertise) and enjoys sitting outside and looking around. She’s chill and a good sleeper. She’s soothed by music and partial to Beatles, Tchaikovsky, The Mamas & the Papas, and Lady Gaga circa 2008.
