Adjusting to the new school year
After school started that following weekend we enjoyed some family time as we attended Wes and Ted's wedding. Easton danced the night away as always and while Hadley danced too, she also took some DJ lessons and helped Brian's cousin Amy play some music for the night! She loved that!
The wedding was lovely at Brian's aunt Maria's house, and the speeches were heart felt. It was a nice celebration!
The company I used to work for BMO/GGOF held a work reunion. It works out so perfectly that the bank distributed people from our small company around the same time that I left work. This means that everyone feels like reunions are a great idea! This time Brian's mom came to babysit as Brian had been travelling. However, he literally got off the plane and headed to downtown Toronto to join us for the evening. He knew all the people since we did a lot together when I worked there. Sports and evening outings and such. This visit even included a visit from an old colleague who was in town from Scotland to surprise an old friend for her 50th the following day. After many hours catching up, the restaurant comp'd us each a drink since it was revealed that at lot of the people there had been going to JUMP (the restaurant) for 20 years!
After the evening fizzled Brian and I left for the GO train but since there was a bit of a wait, we decided to get another drink close to Union Station and catch up on life. (Since he had been travelling). It was nice to have a date night with him in the city!
We are starting to settle into new routines with hockey, skating, guitar, piano, and school.
Hadley's school return has been smooth sailing. In fact, she loves school!
Easton's has been a little crazier. He has had 4 teachers in three weeks. He started in a grade 3 class (teacher 1), but with new students enrolling he was shuffled into a grade3/4 split class. However, this was a newly created class, so he had a supply teacher (teacher 2) for a bit. Then they hired a teacher who was there for two days, but was unable to continue her placement for personal reasons (teacher 3). So that leads him to his first ever male teacher. (teacher 4). Easton has had a male teacher for science before but never all day. So... fingers crossed he is in for the long haul. I met him this morning for about two minutes since I was in the school volunteering for the grade one's.
We are still waiting for a portable, so for now, Easton's class is in the library. At least there will be no shortage of books!
