Gloomy Day at the Beach / Opatija with Granny

Helen 18 Months

This little sweet pea is keeping us busy busy. She is a smart little explorer, and very independent. Helen loves to dance, play with lego blocks, build towers and go for walks. She loves being outside playing in the back yard, looking at slugs and collecting rocks and sticks. She has been going to a play group in the mornings and enjoys being around other kids. She eats by herself with a fork or spoon (or her fingers) and won't let anyone feed her anymore. She knows most her body parts - in three languages! She kicks the ball and throws it pretty well, too. She doesn't say much but is very good at letting you know what she wants. Helen loves to nap but thinks night time is for partying. She has thrown a hand full of toddler tantrums and is def testing her limits with her older brother. Poor Adam.

Holjevac Park with Dad

Aaron has been really busy and  is leaving for Russia tomorrow morning, but we were able to spend the afternoon with him at the beautiful Holjevac park and get some apple strudel!

Mirogoj Cemetery

Mirogoj Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and famous cemeteries in Europe and known for its monumental arcades, pavilions and domes but I ended up taking only pictures of my children :)

First Day of School

On Monday Adam had his first day at Bright Horizons British International School and he loved it!
I can't believe we have a first grader. He had fun seeing his friends from Kindergarten and meeting new ones. He will be taking German and Croatian lessons and we are happy that he will be learning a third language. They also have Tennis, Art and Music classes, so we will have a busy little boy this year!
