Is Corono over yet?--------------------Nope!

Well, it is nearly Christmas and Corono is stronger than ever.... we also had an earthquake today. I felt it while sleeping and thought I was dreaming. So weird!

So what happend in the last 5 months.... not much... ha ha. Here is more pictures to remember the last 5 months.

We went for a bike ride next to the Vardar river

We made a lemon clock

Jac got a weather station

Lots of watermelons in the summer-------watermelon juice

Zane turned 16! Happy Sweet 16

I started making visual schedules for Chereni and Jac.

At the beginning of August I got the school ready for our new year of school.

Friends of our had to leave the country and we babysat their dog for a couple of weeks.

We finally got to go and get our permits for Macedonia, 5 months after they have expired!

Neo-Rie finally finshesd her mosaic - a year after starting it!

This year was the first of many things - Neo-Rie is going to school for the first time. It was a really hard decision to make, but once we had peace about it, we went for it. May this year teach you how to fly!

Zane started his second year of High School at QSI - very confident this year and happy that is not online (for day one)

We walked the streets of Skopje, in search of ice cream and came upon a light festival.

Now I only homeschool 2 kids, sad but true.... but it is a real big challenge for me and I hope I can do this.

Some of our first experiments for this year.

We celebrated the day of Mary with Beti

So many people left the country when the borders opened. We lost a lot of good friends this year. One of them left us these lights!

We wanted to explore Macedonia, but money is always tight. Zane was playing is first rugby game in Probistip so we decided to make a road trip out of it. This is the stone dolls close to Kratovo. We explored the "petrified wedding party" many legends surrounding the place of how a girl that was jealous put a spell on all and made them into stone.

This is the Bride and groom

The town of Kratovo is knowns for its old towers and bridges

We had lunch here and celebrated Danie's birthday

These are very old trees for the medieval times

Zane planing rugby for Skopje Wild Boars

And finally Danie is also 47

Some more experiments, trying to burn chocolate with sun rays

Jac off to the farm to collect rocks for a rock garden

We made the earth

Neo-Rie had to make a signature and she did not practice it.... ha ha

Getting there...... just a few more years

I love timelines......

We finally got to go to Kokino, the natural observatory.

Jac also started playing rugby, so far so good. It is only touch rugby.

The civil war in history, We read the book Across 5 Aprils. It was really intense, I cried a couple of times and could not read it to Jac.

Chereni lost her firt tooth. She pulled it herself.

We made hedgehog breadrolls --- you could kill someone with it.. ha ha.

Jac and Aiden are really good friends and they like to make things together. Here Jac believed he discovered some kind of orbital thing... can't remember what, so we had a small celebration with chocolate muffins and everything space.
