Weekly update and Tahoe trip

We survived another week! Dragana went to see a doctor for her deep vein thrombosis. It is serious enough for her to have an operation on March 6. The good news is that the thrombosis is not life-threatening.

Little grandma (Nada) came on Tuesday and with one day to recover from a jet-lag we packed her up again and headed to Tahoe for a long weekend.


The trip to Tahoe was nice. We had quite a bit of snow - perfect for hitting the slopes. I enjoyed skiing, and the boys had a blast in the snow. As we were getting ready to head back to Bay Area a big storm hit.

Saturday night and Sunday during the day there was approximately 30 inches of snow (75 cm). Our normal drive that usually takes 3.5 hours took almost 12 hours. Fifteen miles of road around Donner Summit (7085 ft = 2160 m) took us 5 hours to cross. I am sure that all you math-buffs can calculate that we were traveling 3 miles per hour. We could have been faster walking if it were not for the white-out conditions and blazing snowfall;-)))

Cheers,

The first one

Hi all,

here is the first official post. Last week was somewhat uneventful. Kids are doing fine. I managed to publish a bunch of pictures (154 to be exact) on the new website (www.zmajovi.com). I will still continue to update www.milanc.com from time to time, but www.zmajovi.com allows me more storage space so it is easier to store humongous amount of pictures;-) On the new site you'll find pictures from July 2006 through end of January 2007.


Dragana went to see a doctor for her vain inflammation. She was diagnosed deep vein thrombosis, and we will know by the end of the week when will she have an operation to remove it.

My work has been steady and keeping me from the boys more than I would like. Things are going well there so I can not complain.

We are getting ready to celebrate Marko's fourth birthday, so keep an eye for that update.

My mom got her visa today and is going to come to visit us next week (for our birthdays).

Thanks for reading. Talk to you soon.

Milan

Welcome

I am jumping on the bandwagon and starting a blog. My intent is to have a single spot where my friends can get an update on important (or less important) staff that happened during that week.
