this was a good week
This was a good week! Here's why:
• Alex turns 14 tomorrow! And after a week of caring for a sleepless "baby," I suspect that sleeping until noon tomorrow is high on her birthday wish list this year.
• These winter wonderland photographs are insanely beautiful. (I always love photographs like these, but no way would I be willing to wait for hours in that weather for the perfect conditions like that photographer does!)
• This baby chimp being rescued from poachers is the sweetest thing I've seen all year.
• A pastor wanted to a host a breakfast for kids and their dads -- and it turned out that many of the kids didn't have dads or father figures who could show up. So he asked for volunteers. Here's what happened.
• Ludacris freestyling the classic children's book Llama Llama, Red Pajama made my day.
• Finally, for today's soundtrack: my friend Heather shared this video of James Blake covering Don McClean's classic song Vincent. It's a sad song, but this version is so haunting and beautiful I wanted to share it. Click here or the image below to listen.
Have a great weekend, friends. See you next week.
