Investigation results

Fingerprints lifted from the sugar container matched all three suspects. Inconclusive.
Post-mortem on the victims determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen caused by the bacterial bloom. H2O analysis was consistent with an overdose of sugar. Murder weapon has been confirmed but cannot be directly tied to any of the 3 suspects.
A brief funeral was held for the victims in the toilet. de

Scandinavian Adventure

Dear Brats 2.0,
Well I've finally sorted through, selected and uploaded the photos from our trip this summer.


What a great time! It was great to be back in Schleswig-Holstein, and see our friends and family there. This trip was our Scandinavian Adventure. I guess in a way, this would be Posh and Bucky's equivalent to our Canadian Adventures-heading north!

Another Red Letter Day for Jean-Loup

Dear Brats,
Last night when I arrived home, Jean-Loup came up to me all excited. So excited he couldn't quite remember what he wanted to tell me...but finally he blurted out, "This morning I walked to school all by my self! Mom said I could!"
Wow he is getting to be a big boy.

Cute story

Dear Brats,
It has been too long since I last wrote anything here. But here's a cute story to share:

Jean-Loup is learning to read, and he's quite proud of his accompishments. He wanted to show me how well he could read, so he picked up this book,

Well being bilingual, he wanted to read it in English. So he began,
JL: Milk three wolves.
me: no it's not milk it's the three wolves.
JL, OK, milk three wolves.
me: No it's not milk, les is the in English.
JL: Milk three wolves.

I finally gave up. The next night I was speaking with Jeannine about his reading, and she said the title of the book. It's pronounced more or less "Lay twa lou" It dawned on me, he was using the sound of les(lay) which sounds a bit like lait (milk) in French. So his translation was phonetically correct.

CHRISTMAS in France



Well jolly old St. Nickolas managed to find us again.
Christmas started in earnest last night. We went to church after a day of preparation. The kids were excited at the church, but fairly well behaved. Kimmy, did kind of run around. She got her head stuck between the chairs, tried to hide behind an old cabinet.
Christmas morning didn't come too early. 8:30 or so. The kids were excited that the fat man made it...and Jean-Loup even saw him! He didn't see Jean-Loup though!
