well hello. remember me?

There is no point even attempting to make up for or review whats been going on here in the 6.5 months since my last post (shame shame tisk tisk). So I will just start with whats happening currently. Luka is now a freshman in high school and made the varsity swim team. I can not believe what a handsome young man he is turning out to be. He is already over 6 feet tall too. Maya is now in pre-school one day a week and LOVES it. It is an art based school that specializes in gentle separation (from me) which is what we need since she still has a meltdown every time I leave the room. They have a "water room" which is AH MAY ZING. She spent almost her entire first day in there and then ended up with a cold because she was barefoot and wet while they had the AC going, so last week I had her skip it. I think she will tomorrow as well. Shes finally not stuffy and Id like to keep it that way. Pedja and I are still working a ton and trying to manage a hormonal teenager and crazy toddler without killing one another. The one thing I would like to catch you up on is that we took a semi family vacation in July for my sisters wedding in Mexico. Im calling it a semi family vacation because less than 24 hours before we were on our way to LAX, we realized Luka's passport had expired last June. Big problem since it was A) a Sunday and B) it was a Serbian passport. He ended up staying with nana and grampa Stu and DIDNT WANT TO COME HOME because he had such GREAT time. Phew.
