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.

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. > > So when Elisa wrote to me proposing I extend my leave 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. > > This is not to say I miss you very much and I wish I 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. > > All best, > Elli > > > > _______________________________________________ > Tei-council mailing list > Tei-council@lists.tei-c.org > http://lists.lists.tei-c.org/mailman/listinfo/tei-council
