Dear Elli,
thank you so much for the update and the picture! I am happy and
relieved to hear that your kids are well (they are sooo sweet!)
and I hope you will be, too! We'll keep our fingers crossed that
day care works out and send you all the best from Paderborn!

Very
small children are in no way a cure for burnout,
unfortunately. But they are extremely cute! We wish you all
the best and miss you too.

to report all is well with our new little family. The twins
were born on March 17, two months too soon, and we had to stay
in the hospital for three weeks, but since taking them home
they've been doing great. Enclosed a picture for those
interested. Still, it's been quite demanding to take care of
newborn twins (who would've thought?) and so far I haven't had
a chance to recover from the burn-out symptoms I experienced
right before (and during) my pregnancy.

from Council, thus not only giving me some more time to
recover but also giving someone else the chance to experience
Council for a year, I considered it a good solution. I was
indeed very happy to hear that Joey has been a wonderful
addition to Council and I'm glad this solution worked out so
well.

could be there in Paderborn with you. Starting this week, the
twins are going to daycare, giving me some much needed time to
rest and get better. For now, I wish you an interesting,
productive and overall great conference and members meeting.
