Busy week

The week has flown by since we returned to Prague. We have all done remarkably well with the jet-lag and the girls have slept threw the night from our first day back. Take the night flight out of Boston seems to be the way to go since last year we took the day flight and the jet lag was horrible.

One of the things that has filled our time this week is discussion over the new location for the early years program at the girls school. We had a meeting with the school this week over the displeasure felt by most parents regarding this change (ourselves included in the displeasure). I don't think we made any difference voicing our concerns but at least we told the school our thoughts. We will see next week what the final decision is but at this point it looks like Sofia and Ali will be in two different locations next year. I spent more time at the kids school for a PTA meeting and just catching up with people. Being away three weeks is a long time. It has been great to catch up with friends.

Yesterday I had a full days of baby showers. I went to a shower in the morning for my friend Joanna. It was nice to see everyone as well as it gave me my first look at my friend Laura's new baby, Elliot. It seems it is just raining babies here in Prague. My friend Laura had her baby while we were int he states so I was excited to finally meet him at the shower. It was a fun shower done as a tea party so there were all different kinds of tea as well as scones, mini sandwiches and cake. After leaving that shower I came home picked up a second gift and headed out to my friend Emily's house for a shower for my friend Kirsty. Again, I was really looking forward to seeing my friends. I hadn't seen Emily in ages since between her trip to the States, our trip to the States and colds I hadn't seen her since November I think. I had seen Kirsty in January but when someone is pregnant there is a lot of change in a month. It is hard to believe her pregnancy is almost over....it always seems like pregnancies go so quick for other women!

While I was having fun with my girlsfriends Jason and the girls were hanging out at home. It was good for them to have a chance to relax. They also made a trip to the grocery store and had dinner ready for me when I came home.

I'm hoping this week will settle down a little bit and go a little slower now that we are back into our routine. It is nice to be home.
