Family Journal: Tuesday January 6, 2009

We are enjoying the week off from school. Due to the Serbian Orthodox Christmas being today, we have an additional week of school off. It gives us a chance to do things around the house we have been meaning to do, take care of family paperwork and business, and spend heaps of time together as a family and Nadia and I alone.

Yesterday morning we drove over to New Belgrade and walked along the Sava River until it meets the Danube. As you can see from the photo above, it was coooold! Owen and Oliver enjoyed smashing the ice along the shore of the river. It was sad to see so much garbage caught in the trees and frozen mud. We ran around the park, I identified a new bird (Eurasian Coot), and finally Nadia headed in because of the cold. This is a common theme in our outdoor family excursions.

Ocean is finally feeling herself again. Her appetite is back, her stools are normal, and she is showing her usual level of energy.
