Tim Arrives in London

I left Minneapolis at 10pm on Thursday and arrived in London at noon on Friday - right on time. Got through Customs with no problems, found my bag, and met up with Garett. We took the Tube back to their place.

It's taken a few days to adjust to the change in time. Slept 12 hours the first night and then couldn't sleep much at all on Saturday night. Of course the neighbors playing a loud video all night didn't help. Sunday was much better. Things are back to normal now.

I have been to all sorts of places. Westminster Abby, the British Museum, Trafalgar Square, the National Museum, and the Portrait Museum. We have also hit a few local pubs. We walk a lot!

Ryan has art class all this week so we take the bus with his friend Penelope. He has made a lobster and a hula dancer. We had fish & chips today after his class before going to Trafalgar Square. They constructed a hedge maze in the square. Only got lost a few times.

I have been reading a book about English customs so I don't mess up too bad.

Weather here has been great so far. 60's in the morning and then partly sunny and in the low 70's during the day. I have had a little trouble adjusting to the Tube. I think I am a little chlostrophobic and not knowing where I am is a little discomforting. I'm doing better each day.

Love,

Tim

Khuslen celebrated Grand Old Day with his parents and grandmother and went to the Stone Bridge Art Festival with mom and dad. He loves to do be outside and take a walk in the park. Dad's friend Sean visited us for a few days and we went to the Sculpture Garden with him. Khuslen celebrated his 1st Father's Day with mom and dad.He has discovered that he can suck his fingers and he is trying to put his fist in his mouth. He also found that he can lie down on his side. He started laughing loud and rolled over all the way. Khuslen began grabbing his toys. Now he can lift up his head and turn around.

Хүслэн хүү 3 сар хүрлээ. Тэрээр одоо 5 кг 670 грамм жинтэй, 60 см урт боллоо. Өнгөрсөн сар хагасын хугацаанд тэрээр анх удаа зөндөө олон адал явдалтай үйлдэл хийжээ. Тэрээр аав ээжтэйгээ хамт эмээгийн найз Эндрьюгийн Минниаплс хотын урлагийн галерейд тавьсан шилэн таваг болон тосон уран зургийг үзэхээр очлоо. Мөн Хүслэн хүү анх удаа аав ээжийн найз Сундуйтай уулзахаар онгоцны буудал явлаа. Тэрээр бас эцэг эх, эмээтэйгээ хамт Грайнд гудамжинд болдог баярт оролцохын зэрэгцээ урлагийн үзэсгэлэн худалдааг үзлээ. Хүслэн хүү маань гадаа гарч, зугаалах дуртай хүүхэд шүү. Тэрээр аавынхаа найз Шонтой хамт хөшөө дурсгалын паркад очлоо. Тэрээр анх удаа аав нарын баярын өдрийг тэмдэглэлээ. Энэ сард тэрээр олон зүйлийг шинээр туршиж үзлээ. Тэрээр хуруугаа хөхөж, гараа бүхэлд нь амандаа хийх гэж оролддог боллоо. Мөн чанга дуугаар инээж, бүхэл биеэрээ өнхөрж, хажуу талаараа хэвтэж, толгойгоо өргөөд зогсохгүй эргүүлдэг боллоо.

Soccer Tournament

Elizabeth's team had their first tournament game last night. They won 6-2! Elizabeth had the first goal, had a great steal, and didn't let in a single goal when she played goalie in the 4th quarter.

They played again tonight and won again! However, the teams were very evenly matched and it was tough. Elizabeth played goalie again in the 4th quarter and let in the goal to tie the game. The game ended in a tie and went into a sudden death overtime. Elizabeth's team scored about 2 minutes into overtime!

They play again on Thursday night.

Oh, did I mention that the entire game was in a cold, windy, steady rain? Elizabeth was soaked to the bone, as were all of her fans!

Хүслэн 2 сар хүрлээ - Khuslen is 2 months old

The time is flying so fast and Khuslen is already 2 months old. Now he is 10 pound 15 oz and 22 1/2 inches. He loves taking a walk to the park with mom and dad.

Цаг хугацаа гэдэг харвасан сум шиг хурдан өнгөрөх юмаа. Тэрээр одоо 4 кг 961 грамм жинтэй, 56 см урт боллоо. Хүслэн аав, ээжтэйгээ хамт паркаар зугаалах дуртай. Мөн тэрээр үргэлж шулганаж, хөл гараа хөдөлгөж, гараа өргөн унтах дуртай билээ. 2 сар хүрсэн төрсөн өдрөөрөө Хүслэн аавынхаа ажлын газарт очиж, аавынхаа хамт ажилладаг хүмүүстэй танилцлаа. Тэд нар Хүслэнг их өхөөрдөм хөөрхөн төдийгүй их баяр баясгалантай хүү байна гэж хэлж байлаа.
