Changes

Sunrise on my new place of work

It's been a bit of a nutty few weeks, nuttier than normal. I gave my two weeks notice at work and started a new job here in Bolton, so that has taken up a lot of my extra energy. My commute has gone from over an hour each way to seven minutes, the two hours that I gain back are now spent at work which will result in a nicer pay cheque.
I am inside sales for Darta Fleet Solutions. They manufacture and install lighting, consoles and anything else you could want for Police, Fire, EMS and Roadworks. So far it's been really interesting, lots to learn and it seems like pretty nice people to work with.
Here's a photo recap of the first couple of weeks of September

Rob was getting creative with snack time

Some mornings Owen has his own ideas of
what he is wearing to school

My Mom came for a long weekend, right before I started my
new job, and we had a great visit

Owen has been spending lots of time on his own
building lego

This was a house he fully worked on by himself,
truly impressed with his imagination and
ability to construct

My first attempt at making and canning
apple butter

Last weekend we all headed to London to visit with our old neighbours. Owen was really excited to see James again and the boys had an amazing weekend together. Infact, they played so well together that the adults were able to all sit together, have some wine and enjoy some adult conversation! All three of us had a wonderful time and we look forward to doing it again soon.

Monkey see, monkey do was the theme of the weekend

We were treated to a wonderful dinner Saturday night

After a leisurely Sunday morning we all mad it
over to the apple orchard

Train ride into the orchard was a nice touch

Already lost and the corn maze hasn't even started!

The boys loved running around, surprising each other

Who can resist a mountain of sand

My two very cute apple pickers

Between a very late night and all the excitement of the day,
someone was a bit exhausted

Waiting for the train back to the entrance

"Who is this guy?"

The Ex

Thursday Rob and I took the day off work and took Owen on an adventure. We parked at Jane Station, hopped on the subway, transferred to the bus and ended up at the Exhibition! We all had a fantastically fun and hot day. Definitely doing this again next year.

Starting the day with a subway ride was a hit, Owen
looooved it.

Next, the bus!

Of course it's the first thing he sees as we get into the park,
so we stood in line for family pics and a free Kinder egg.

First ride and he was on it in a flash, right to the front,
all by himself

Lunch time in the food building was pretty fun

Back to the rides after some food, again, all by himself!

The trip home was just as exciting

"Daddy, this is my lollypop. Don't even think of it"
