Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Survive work and life with two young kids!
ABOUT ME
Madeleine is a researcher. Eric is a stay-at-home dad! Two little munchkins rounds out our family.
We love traveling and meeting new people. Never was good at describing us, we're modest and a little self-conscious. Madeleine likes to be helpful. Eric loves to make people laugh.
PHILOSOPHY
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
E. B. White
