Er, hi. I mean, bonjour! Yeah, that's it. Bonjour.

What, another apologetic post about not posting?

Er, yes.

All is well.

Sorry for not writing, not reading, not answering your emails, not doing my column for MLL, not posting pictures of our growing Griffin.

Griffin's vocabulary at fourteen months:
Mama
Dada
Uh-oh
Hi
No
Yeah
Yay (means "yes"--perhaps a combination of English "yes" and French "oui"?)
Doh (means "open the door," "open the gate to let me climb the stairs," or "let's go outside and play")
Arf

He also does a monkey call and puts his hands on his hips in imitation of a monkey (he can't quite manage to scratch his armpits yet).

Carl's vocabulary:
In English: It has absolutely exploded! He is amazingly articulate.
In French: He rarely speaks in French, but still understands a lot of what I say. And from time to time, he announces, "Tatie speaks French. I speak French a little. Why do I speak French? Why does Tatie speak French?"

Sarah's vocabulary:
I make mistakes ALL THE TIME in French now.
(Of corse, I also make mistaks in Englesh too, I is still sleep-deprived. Durn baby.)

More later....
