Congratulations on the new job, Chrissi! I fancied you would go after some Internet work since you're so good at it, but this sounds much nicer (I'm grandmother to two children under three years old, and they are definitely delightful!).
I've been hanging around with a British gentleman and it sends me into fits of giggles everytime he says he's going to wear a "jumper". Jumpers are dresses that girls in the US wear over a shirt. :laugh:
