Look at my toofers! 2nd top tooth is in.
Oliver's magical hair.
Climbing stairs has become one of Oliver's favorite things to do, especially if he has a crowd of folks cheering him on to the top!
Oliver and I are still soaking up the sun and my little brown bunny is really enjoying the life of the mobile! Oliver loves to socialize with the people on the beach, especially if they have a big sandcastle he can destroy or a little pool he can splash in.
Oliver is also gearing up for the Tour! He has taken a liking to riding around the island, energy supplied by mama, and we go for a ride everyday. And of course, we visit friends throughout the ride, people always wanting a quick squeeze of Oliver's chubby thighs!
From across the pond, Eric is working his fanny off at his intership. He is working for the financial ombudsman service. Below is an excerpt from one of our online chats where Eric explained who is was working for.
"It is a agency created by the government, sort of like a mediation system for financial relations, between insured/insurer, lender/borrower, etc. Ombudsman is a position, think about it as the Secretary of something. Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State. If I worked for the State Department I would be working for Hillary Clinton. A certain guy is the Financial Ombudsman, I am working for the agency he heads: the financial ombudsman service. I am on the legal side of things working with the General Counsel. We have different kinds of Ombudsmen in the US, just not one for finance it is called something different."
Other than working, Eric has been exploring London and nearby towns. He has biked through parts of the Cotswolds, seen Romeo and Juliet at The Globe (in the standing only paupers area), took in a Cricket match, gone to the British National Museum a couple of times (it's only a block from his flat) and savored a pint at the pub Lewis and Tolkien and other Inklings frequented. All in all he is making the most of his time in England! It helps greatly that he has a close friend from highschool living in London and a friend of ours from Furman (Will Henderson) interning over there as well; Will and Eric have really been creative with getting the most out of there pounds!
Well, I need to go get geared up for the beach and Oliver!
Happy 4th of July Everyone!
