Ollie and Ocean are shown above playing in the leaves in our yard. I did a bit of yard work Saturday morning and the kids had fun. The weather yesterday was in the high 70′s and it felt like summer again. I also swept the steps of leaves and debris, changes multiple lights around the house, and generally cleaned up. In the early morning we went to Merkator for our bi-weekly shopping trip and spent $290 on groceries.
In the afternoon I went to school to meet with our DP Coordinator Liz and we worked a bit on next semester’s schedule. After that I came home and prepared the kids for the baby sitter. Yes, Nadia and I went out on a date!!! We are celebrating the anniversary of when we fell in love. On Halloween weekend in 1997, we began our relationship and have been with each other ever since. Ollie’s teacher assistant, Jelena, came and watched the kids. It was perfect. We went to Duomo, and upscale Italian restaurant in the Dorcol suburb of Belgrade. Excellent salads, pasta, and pizza, and a nice atmosphere. Nadia and I shared a bottle of wine and came home around 9:30 PM. A rare night out for us, but we plan to do this more often. With three young children, most of the time we are devoted to them and our relationship has been lost in the maelstrom of work and kids.
Happy Anniversary Baby, I hope we have many more!
Wine Note- The wine was a red named “Adega de Pegoes” which is produced by a Agriculture Coop in Portugal. The vintage was 2007 but I didn’t get the grape variety. Excellent
