Springtime in London - A Good day for "Wellies"




Spring is the best season in London.  Although it rains regularly, the trees and flowers burst forth with amazing colors.  These pictures are of Ryan baking a chocolate cake and Ryan and I returning today from Waitrose, our local grocery store.  Unlike the US, where you can find a whole aisle dedicated to boxed cake mixes, most are made from scratch here.

View from Shelly's Office (After the Rain)


This was the view from my office yesterday.  The rain had stopped and I took took the picture just before a brilliant rainbow appeared over St. Paul's Cathedral.  The Shard (silver building on the right) will be the tallest building in London once it's finished.  I promise to post pictures of Disney World soon.

2 насны төрсөн өдрийн баяр - Khuslen is 2 years old



















Wow, the time has been passed so fast. Khuslen is already 2 years old. Khuslen celebrated his birthday with his friends: Ruby and Henry, and dad, mom on his actual birth day first. Then we had his birthday party on March 31 to celebrate with his friends, family and relatives. He loved opening his birthday presents since he knew that he will get something good. Khuslen had lots of fun with his friends, relatives and parents' friends. He was also so happy that grandpa Tim was able to come and celebrate his birthday. He also had lots of fun with his grandpa.
Цаг хугацаа хугацаа хурдан өнгөрөх юмаа. Хүслэн хүү 2 нас хүрлээ. Тэрээр аав ээжийнхээ найзууд болон өөрийнхөө найзуудтайгаа хамт төрсөн өдрөө сайхан тэмдэглэлээ. Тэрээр зөндөө олон бэлэг хүлээн авлаа. Мөн тэрээр энэ удаа Тим өвөө нь төрсөн өдрийг нь тэмдэглэхээр ирсэн маш их баярлав.
