Our Weekend: Sushi & Aussies (& Kiwis)

Wasn't a typical weekend. Typical weekend means some housecleaning, some grocery shopping, kick the ball around in the park, maybe hang up a light or something like that. This weekend, Maylia and I had a date - our first evening out alone since Mattias was born.

Saturday
For our date, we had a new babysitter come over, Anette. Our first time leaving 1 sitter with 2 kids, so we were a bit scared.
Anette handled Ella great (& vice versa). Mattias, however, was tougher. Apparently he refused to take a bottle, so he was real cranky until he passed out.
For our date, we decided it had been long enough since we last had sushi (last in Manchester, NH). Under the Diplomat hotel is Katsura, one of very few (3?) Japanese-managed places in Prague to have sushi. We walked in and noted we were the only non-Asians there, so we figured we chose wisely. The food was spectacular -and so was the bill. We may return just for the miso soup.

Sunday
We all went to a CANZA party. CANZA is a local expat group: "Czech, Australian, New Zealand Association." They always have good parties. This one was a bar-b-que at the Slavia Rowing Club.
Sure CANZA is for Aussies and Kiwis, but every expat knows at least a few, so....
In our case, our closest connection is Paul (Dylan's dad), from New Zealand and Jeff knows a few Australians from work. By the way, Paul and Ali are expecting their 2nd child real soon.

Ella had a good time, getting her face painted, sitting with Ali.

I'll also include one of my new favorite pictures: Maylia nursing both Mattias and her 1st beer. (Note: she continues to plug both Nobis and the NHIS!)

Highlight of the week: Maylia found asparagus today! (2nd time in 2 years)

Talk to you later,
