So, I'm super happy that I get anohter hour today. Especially this morning. I babysat for Yvonne Baur - where Theresa used to live and be the au pair. Yvonne and Soeren didn't get back until midnight, so I am very grateful for that extra hour for me to wake up. They went to see The Motorcycle Diaries. They said it was good. Soeren didn't really want to see it because it might have political or revolutionary tendencies, but it didn't. It was really about Che's discovery of himself, in a non-political sense. Sure, there were pre-cursors to him becoming a revolutionary. But nothing too strong that would make the audience roll their eyes or be disappointed.
Yvonne and Soeren are a cute couple. She kept her last name, so Soeren's last name is Detering. They're both very German. :) But they're fun and young still. Their boys are so cute, Sebastian and Benjamin. Or Benny, as everyone calls him. They are just two peas in a pod. And Theresa was there because Yvonne had a baby girl back in May, early June? Whenever. Her name is Helene. And Soeren is the cute dad that you can tell loves his kids so much because he smiles whenever he's around them. He comes into the room and plays cat and mouse. He says in German - where are my little mice? - and the boys go scrambling, not wanting to get caught by the big cat. It's funny.
That was fun too, reading them a German book at bedtime. They were like, you can read German? And I said to them in German - I can speak German too. So, then they would slip in and out of English and say German words. How old are they? Maybe kindergarten, or just younger. So, four or five or so.
ANyway, I have to get going. Em is helping me out at church, because the other kid person isn't there today. I'm bringing her just in case, but she's being very cool about it. I think this weekend is a nice break. She spent yesterday afternoon at MOMA and I'll spend this afternoon at Berlitz, helping to clean out the storage room. I think every now and then, we need some alone time. And I can sense that from EM sometimes. At least lately. Maybe I'm wrong. But....
TTFN....
