There has been frost. There has been saturating rain. There has recently been sun sun sun!
Last night frost. Today 32C! WARM. SUNNY. BEEEAAA – UTIFUL!
I don’t have pics of today though and it’s a pity because today was the first day Ivo and Burl wore shorts. They began the day dressed as Batman and Robin. Burl loved being Robin – and all that that implies… Sidekick is fine, partner’s good too. After work, the boys returned with Grammie and Grampie from DQ (seriously – 32 DEGREES CELCIUS!) They were both wearing shin-length shourts – Ivo all red and spidermanny, Burl on a green alligator t-shirt, long Nemo aqua-scenic shorts, tall dark socks and cream colored tennis shoes. He looked sooo cute and so much like a retiree in Miami, F-L-A. The mostly bald head and dark socks… too much!
Here are pics of the boys at my office before we got it set up. It’s much nicer now.
Here are the boys making cookies with Grammie Gail on 6 May (I think).
Tonight is the first night since I started my new job that I haven’t brought my computer home! As Ivo would say, “It’s heaven!”
April was a long, wet, cold, lingering-snowy month. All but one of my tutorees had atrophied… I was getting worried about money and a little depressed. And confounded that, except for the school district and volunteering, I had not gotten any calls on resumes I’d sent out for advertised positions.
On 29 April, I got a call from MACC and set up an interview with the board of directors for 30 April, 8pm. In between, I finished our taxes and sent them in on the due date m(my first time doing Canadian taxes). On Friday afternoon, while tutoring, I got the call offering me the job. Started job on 4 May.
Ryan started his final Fredericton stint on 4 May. He’s getting busier and busier. This semester feels faster, is shorter – but no less intensive and work-heavy. This semester is unlike the other 2 cuz Ryan has one 8:30-8:30 day/week and the rest are in the 3-8:30 range. He has been getting to spend some mornings with the boys.
We’ve been to the lake 2 weekends. The first time in April with snow (pics, hopefully to follow). We had to hike in cuz the road was too steep and wet to drive. We stayed Victoria Day weekend 15-18 May – and went to Carolyn’s 70th birthday party!
Lots of afternoons at Connell Park.
Ivo had a mother’s day party at his school on 8 May. It was super fun and cute, He made me a visor, a bead necklace a book of pictures he drew of me in various situations (I’ll scan and post – they’re not situations I’d ever previously considered like, “a picture of mom as a transformer” and “my mom as an elephant” and “mom skydiving” ) and a clay handprint. I LOVE them all!
I have sooo much else to catch up on but have to get some rest.
I can’t figure out how to get pics from my camera onto my computer. I have some super cute pics on my new phone, - it’s nothing flashy, just the kind of thing an employed person might have:)
