The Ephemeric

They say that it's often the case that as we bid goodbye to one family member, we say hello to another. After last week's bummer of a post remembering the late great Didier Debate, I feel it is worth highlighting the other side of that equation: the joy and delight of welcoming our first son Robin Debate.

Many of you will already have heard the news from us. Robin Reto Debate was born on the 2nd of July, a beautiful, healthy young man with his father's temperament and his mother's eyes (and her grumpy face as well). 

Both son and mother are happy and well. He is growing ridiculously fast and is clearly going to be some kind of an explorer with how keen he is to push himself around with his (surprisingly powerful) legs and see each and every corner of the apartment.

He enjoys a good warm soak in the bath and is generally a chill little guy. Welcome, Robin. We will watch your career with great interest.
