This week was definitely a busy one. I have finished all my maternity leave paperwork and my last day of work will be October 28! So the countdown begins and then I am off for a year. So thankful to be working in a province and for an employer who is so supportive of working Moms and I will definitely enjoy my time off!
Ryan has been very busy in the backyard this week. When we bought the house, we didn't have much of a yard as it had a lot of growth and trees. Gradually we have been eliminating trees and growth but we have these enormous trees at the back of the property with huge branches that shade the entire backyard, making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Hence we use our deck a lot more than venturing into the backyard. With some help from our tenant, Ryan has been tackling those trees and we have sunlight in our backyard for the first time! Now comes the cleanup though - there are just piles of branches in the backyard which will take quite a few trips to the green dump to get rid of but it will be so worth it to have a backyard we can enjoy finally!
Ryan working in the backyard - this was just the beginning. I should take another pic so you can see how much he actually cut down:
Here is Kaitlyn in the backyard - you can really see the shade that I'm talking about in this picture which is what the whole backyard was like until late yesterday:
Today we checked out the Abbotsford Agrifair. My thinking was it would be cheap family entertainment but everything costs money in there. Kaitlyn loved riding the horse and getting up close with the animals but the heat and my swollen feet made it a rather short visit. Still a fun but exhausting day!

Riding the horse at the fair - she had such a blast!
