I realize I’ve been posting a lot of gloom-and-doom messages lately. I guess that’s my unconscious mindset as of Day 70 of The Disruption. But there is good news – correction great news! Here’s a picture of our newest family member, Jessamine Memphis Monsma. Born May 14, 9.5 pounds and healthy.

What a life story he will have. Born during a pandemic, he will see a world we can scarcely imagine. In addition to all the technological change he will see, there’s now the societal change that The Disruption will bring about.

We’re so grateful that Jesse, his mother and father and everyone in his circle are safe and healthy. That’s something to celebrate!
