Happy Mother's Day
Hier, c'était la Fête des Mères aux États-Unis. J'ai eu un joli petit mot de mon Tipoulet, écrit à l'école mais en français - donc sans personne pour le corriger...
Vous noterez qu'il a bien intégré le concept des lettres silencieuses qui ne servent à rien.
Et sans même le faire exprès - je n'ai lu la carte qu'au retour -, j'ai tenu mon rang de "meilleure maman du monde" en les emmenant au Boardwalk de Santa Cruz, ce qu'ils me réclamaient depuis plusieurs semaines.
Chacun a eu quelques tours de son manège préféré (entre autres),
Et de la barbe à papa!
Yesterday was Mother's Day in the US. I got a sweet little note from my Tipoulet, written at school, but in french, so without anyone to help him.
You'll notice that he's got the concept of silent useless letters down!
And without even planning for it - I only got the card on the way back -, I secured my first place in the world's best mom competition by taking them to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, something they had been asking for for weeks.
They both got a few of their favorite rides (and some others), and cotton candy!

La Poulette, ravie de regarder son frère d'en-bas -
La Poulette, very happy to watch her brother from the ground

Paper accepted
Aujourd'hui, mon papier a été accepté. Ça aura mis presqu'un an depuis la première soumission - et je ne parle même pas du travail qu'il a fallu en amont pour arriver à la rédaction du papier. Les dernières semaines ont été totalement vampirisées par ce papier, et je ne pensais pas m'absenter du blog si longtemps. Mais au bout d'un moment, c'est devenu presqu'une superstition: je ne voulais pas revenir avant d'en avoir terminé...
Alors voilà, si vous êtes toujours là, je devrais maintenant pouvoir me réapproprier ma vie, et avoir un peu plus de temps pour en parler!
Prochaine étape: trouver un nouveau job!
Today, my paper was accepted. It took almost a year since the first submission - and I'm not even talking about the work that had been done before even writing the paper. These last few weeks have been completely taken over by this paper, and I didn't think I would be gone from this space for so long. But after a while, I almost became superstitious about coming back here before I was done with it...
But it's over, so if you're still here, I should be able to get my life back, and have some time to write about it!
Next step: find a new job!

Another visit with the elephant seals
Rien d'autre à ajouter aux posts des années passées... Des tas de bébés éléphants de mer, et mes bébés à moi qui grandissent encore un peu.
There's nothing much to add to the posts of the previous years... A lot of new baby elephant seals, and my babies who grew a bit more.

Snowboarding
Tipoulet a absolument tenu à s'essayer au snowboard, cette année. Direction l'école de ski pour la journée, donc. La Poulette et moi l'avons croisé en début d'après-midi, et j'ai trouvé qu'il se débrouillait déjà pas mal du tout.
Bon, là, on a détalé vite fait, voyez... Et je me disais, ouh là, on va le retrouver super énervé de sa journée de snowboard. Ce que j'aurais totalement compris, vu que personnellement, j'avais pas tenu 2 heures...
Mais pas du tout, on a récupéré un Tipoulet extatique, qui ne voulait plus jamais faire de ski, "ever". Quand je lui ai demandé ce qui lui avait tellement plu, il m'a expliqué que c'était beaucoup plus facile de se relever quand on avait les deux pieds attachés à la même planche.
Tipoulet insisted on trying snowboardng this year. So I signed him up for a day of ski school. La Poulette and I saw him on the slopes in the early afternoon, and I thought he was doing pretty good already.
Well, after that, we got out of his hair as fast as we could... And I was thinking, oh my, he's going to be super pissed off after the day snowboarding. Which I completely understand, considering I didn't last 2 hours myself...
But it turns out he loved it, and said he "never ever" wanted to ski again. When I asked him what he liked so much about snowboarding, he told me it was because it's so much easier to get up when both feet are attached to the same board.
