The Hamptons

Well hello peoples. It's been a bit too long since I've written, so shame on me for not keeping my New Year's resolution. But that doesn't mean I'm throwing the towel in! I'm back on the wagon. And to start things off, I thought I'd inform you of my current situation. I am a nanny for two French children in Bridgehampton, Long Island, New York. The oldest is a girl, Marguerite who is 10 and a bit ridiculous but very bright. The boy, Achille, is 5 and also a bit difficult but cracks me up to no end. Mimi (Marguerite) has very good English and Aki (Achille) is coming along. His favorite thing to say is, "Hey baby."

So here I am. In the Hamptons. At the pool everyday, playing with children, learning French, teaching them English... I miss Washington, but I am definitely NOT complaining. À toute à l'heure!
