Dear Friends & Family:
Hello. How are all of you doing? I hope all is well. We are all doing good. Augustus is an adorable little boy. He is rather small for his age, but he gets that from me. He also has my dark features. He's a very shy, intelligent boy who prefers playing by himself. He speaks German & English fluently. He just started kindergarten, which is more similar to the American preschool than Kindergarten. It's held by a St. Aloysius & run by an older woman, who seems to me like the ideal Oma. She is very good with Augustus, who has a lot of trouble being away from him Muttis. Amy is working as a Physics teacher at the Heidelberg Gymnasium, a college prepatory school popular in Germany. I'm still a 'stay at home mum', for lack of better words, but that's not entirely by choice. I just gave birth to twins, a boy & girl. We'd like you all to meet Ophelia Mary & Thelonius Ben. They were born on 20.June. Naturally they aren't identical twins, but it's sure hard to tell them apart. Well, I best get going, it's bedtime for the twins and Augustus. Hope to hear from you all soon.
Elle*, Amy, Augustus, Ophelia, & Thelonius
