OK, since it is so long since I have actually written something I thought that I would start by introducing you to one of our babysitters, Julie. Here she is with Kepler stuffed up her cardigan. She celebrated her 18th birthday last week but she manages to retain a huge element of her inner child. She is really fun. She doesn't try to be cool but in fact she is. And since she and Ava have been coming Kepler has made huge strides in cracking the French language. It is so good to hear him prattling away with them. "Regarde! Un dinosaur!" A lot of his conversations revolve around dinosaurs and so in turn for teaching him French he has taught them quite a lot about paleontology!
