Bereket / Barack
In case I haven’t mentioned this recently, my daughter shares a name with our president-elect. Her birth name, and current middle name, is Bereket, which is Amharic for “blessing.”
The name “Barack” also means “blessing” and is Swahili.
So both are essentially the same name, but in different languages.
I hope they get to meet.
The picture, by the way, is from a little after 4AM on the day of her birthday. She’s a morning person. Unlike her father.

I guess this is the “ultra-secure presidential limousine” that they are testing at the moment. Great juxtaposition of blogs
Would you believe it doesn’t come with a coffee cup holder! What were they thinking?
