On Friday when Brandon came home from school, I broke the news that we bought a house and he burst into tears. 🙁  Sigh I understand it’s really the only world he knows, it’s changing, it can be scary and frankly if I were him I’d be upset about it too.  I try to treat him like an adult so I explained why we’re doing it and how it’s good for our family overall and while he says that he understands I doubt he really does.  The house doesn’t close till June 30th so he’ll finish off the school year at his current school at least.  Also promised to make it as painless as possible and that we could continue to do the activities he does in Toronto right now.

Over the weekend he started to accept it though is still quite sad in the mornings.  I also mentioned to him, now that he knows he’ll be moving to enjoy the time he has with his friends while he can, yes he’ll make new friends but they’ll be different than the ones he has now.

Saturday Maggie and I took a car load of stuff to the cottage in Belleville and while Maggie was organizing some of the dishware, I was outside and spoke to a couple of retired neighbors.  They told me what a great neighborhood it was, that the Moira river is only about 4′ deep and that there’s tons of fish so that’s pretty darn awesome.  We took the Lexus IS 350 AWD, on Thursday I swapped on my summer tires and with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s on the car man does it have grip.  On the way home I took some of the backroads back and cornered pretty hard, hard enough that Maggie was complaining I gave her a headache lol.  I can’t wait for the warmer weathers, I’m going to find some fun roads to drive on and I bet the IS will be great.  Will leave the winters on Maggie’s Lexus CT 200h on for a bit longer in case it snows, at least we’ll have one car equipped for that.

Initially we were suppose to celebrate Maggie’s birthday last weekend but Georgia caught a runny nose so we delayed it a week and everyone came over to our house for a change.  Hehe the little kids are so cute, really makes me miss when Brandon was that size, sigh he’s such a big boy.

Frank & Imran were unavailable but that’s ok we still had a good time.  Simone warmed up a bit later and let me tickle her, lol that toddler laugh is the best, Brandon still sometimes laughs like that.

A good weekend overall and it’s back to the grind tomorrow but that’s alright, I enjoy my job. 🙂
