Christmas is Coming

This week we had a nice Christmas party at one of my colleague’s home in Belgrade. The administration team was celebrating the end of the semester and the start of the holidays. We have three glorious weeks of freedom and time for family. All of us are really looking forward to taking a break and Nadia and I can’t wait to spend lots of time with the kids.

Above is a photo from the party of the children of some of the admin team. We had a really nice night and lots of laughs.

I hope to blog extensively during the holiday.

Left to right in the photo are Sophie, Ocean, Eve, Ollie, Nick, Matija, and Owen.

Snow Continues in Belgrade

Our Yard - Wednesday Evening

Snow is still falling as I write this late Thursday evening. Above, I snapped a photo of our yard on Wednesday evening. I shoveled the side walk, driveway, and steps and then walked out in the yard and snapped some photos. This is the most snow I have seen in Belgrade in my year and a half of living here. Today I managed to finally put on the snow tires on our car. It really makes a difference! We have struggled to get the car out of the garage and to a major street. The snow plows do not come down smaller streets here in Senjak, partly because of all of the cars parked on streets. They do a good job of the main roads. 

Ocean Helps Tata Shovel

Ocean loves the “sneg” as she calls snow in the Serbian language. She helped me shovel Wednesday evening. It looks like it has snowed another inch tonight, and at this rate the accumulation will be another 2-3 inches by morning. Perfect timing for the snow as Christmas is approaching and our school holidays start tomorrow afternoon.
