old record album covers

How great are these! Boogie found these a while ago and I randomly came across them hidden in the downloads folder. Here are my attempted translations...

"Dodji, Dodji" = "Come, come"

"Najbolji sam momak" = "I'm the best guy"

"Vrati se ljubav da ti dam" = "Give back the love that I give you"

Sveti Djordje ::::: 6 May

Last Thursday we had a party at the house to celebrate St. George's Day, Sveti Djordje, the patron saint of the Milivojevich family. It was a busy night so I don't have many pictures (there were a lot more people over than in the pix), and unfortunately none of the food. I'm sure we were the only house in Belgrade feasting on both traditional Serbian AND Thai food!

Aleksandar is one month old today

It's been a busy first month of life. Some of the things Aca has experienced so far are...
breastfeeding; explosive poos; taking walks outside in the sling that everyone in Belgrade thinks is bad for him; visit to the rough pediatrician; his sister pretending to love him; his first bath; a trip to the Belgrade municipality to be registered; smiles from people on the street; getting his nails clipped; a car ride to Bosnia; meeting his grandparents; skyping with friends and family in NYC, Bangkok and Kingston; diaper rash; being called "Burgija", "Stinky", "Atta" and "Aci" ("At-sy"); a drive to the mountain region of Kosmaj; smells of Serbian food in the kitchen; smells of Thai food in the kitchen; a saint's day party; a drive to the airport to drop off his grandfather; his vision getting better and better.

Two Grannies

Maya couldn't be happier swinging in the hammock and hanging out with both Baba and Yay Yay.

Aca doesn't care who they are, as long as they're holding him.

Karađorđev Vajat

On Monday we went to Kosmaj, a mountain about an hour drive outside of Belgrade, to visit Mimi and Robert. It's great that real nature is so close by, for a second I thought I heard complete silence.

For lunch we went to Karađorđev Vajat, an ethnic restaurant and bed+breakfast, where you can rent a bungalow for €12 a night and eat really really well. Check out the scenery...

driving to Bosnia

We've been here 3 months already! So, last week we had to take an impromptu 2.5 hour drive to Bosnia for me and Maya to get our passports stamped.

When we got to the border, Aca stayed in the car with Dragana in Serbia, while Boogie, Maya and I walked across a scary bridge with low rails to the border crossing. We made it across and stopped to have a coffee before turning back because Aca was missing me...

A view from the car.
