Juli and Luke have two boys - Henry and Leo and Henry was in Benjamin's class last year. Anja and Kyle also have two kids - Maya and Rory and Maya was in class with Benjamin and Henry. I had met Anja at one of the first parent meetings of the year and was struck by her warmth and cheerful personality but our paths never really crossed again.
Juli and Marty took the Positive Parenting Class in the Spring and became friends and then realized that both of our boys had been in the same class together all year. We went to their house for a lovely lunch and then I also went to their house for the Royal wedding.
Juli suggested we all go out to eat and we had one of the best nights with the other two couples. Not only was the food delicious but the conversation easy and fun. I remember we laughed a lot and left thinking "we must do that again and soon!"
When we got back from Summer vacation Juli and I were talking about different restaurants around Berlin that we wanted to try so we came up with having a "Supper Club" and trying them out together.
Our first official Supper Club was Wednesday night. And it was Super. Because it was a weeknight and our resident babysitter (Josie) isn't so good at getting Benjamin to go to bed we decided to stay close to home so we could be home to at least get them to sleep before 9:30. It was another gorgeous summer (although the calendar says nearly Fall) evening so we ate outdoors in still upper 70 degree weather at 7PM with sandals and shorts. We ate our our relatively new in town Vietnamese Restaurant. We love it here and go probably a bit too much. But thankfully everyone else loved it too. And the laughter flowed. We laughed until we cried. Unfortunately because of travel and work schedules our next Supper Club isn't scheduled until December!!
