Allergies, Allergies...and Did I Mention More Allergies?

Hello everyone. Sorry no pictures again today. I forgot to load them onto my jump drive...my mind was occupied with motherly things and the fact that I am shopping today. That's right...we are in a mall and I get to shop for my own first Mother's Day gift. So far I have found an expensive Dior purse and an expensive top...I haven't bought them yet as I am still looking around. Andrew is strolling Dinara around right now and occasionally looking over my shoulder to read what I am writing. Both Andrew and I are having Agent Plinkly (Lilo&Stitch) moments. He yells "I hate this planet" at one point. This is our issue with all the allergens in Khazahstan. We are enjoying our time in our daughters homeland but boy oh boy are we NOT going to miss the allergy attacks. I wake up at least once a night in a coughing fit and Andrew has massive sneezing attacks. It is 6 days until we board the plane in Moscow for home...and it won't come a moment too soon.

Dinara is doing well. She is walking more and more...and thus getting into things more. We feel some days like all we are saying is No to her. I'm sure a lot of parents feel the same way. We are loving the time with her though. I am sort of sad that come 2 months I will be away working during most of the day...oh well I have to bring home the bacon some how (and it is only for 4 months). Not much to report here. The weather is good again and the poplars are all fluffing away. Sometimes it looks like it is snowing outside. Oh well. Missing you all. Just a short post today...again.

Ahh, much better. Fix is good. Have you got your meds for the allergies? Try the old stand by to help with the breathing, my trusty Vicks to the rescue. I know ha, ha.
It is getting closer to home time and we are SO VERY Happy!!
How was the first home cooked meal? Was it all you thought it would be? What was Dinara's reaction like to the new tastes? Hugs and Kisses & Zerberts sent to the 3 of you. Praying and sending all things good your way until you are home. Dad & Mom

Hi YOU THREE!!

Remember we have allergies in Canada as well so don't think you can come home and forget about them!

We have had lovely weather in Ontario lately.
I am planting annuals and perennials today.
Our hort society had a big sale today so I have been working this morning.
I think I need a nap too.
Glad Dinara is walking so much.
You will be glad even though it means you have to watch her closely.

Keep sending the photos.
Love from me

Happy FIRST MOTHER'S Day to NADINE!!

Happy Mother's Day Nadine. Counting down the days till you return home. Larry and Jen just left - we had a great weekend with lots of family and kid time, and a wonderful adult dinner at John's, an awesome Mother's Day brunch at Jen's. Gord left for Edmonton a bit ago so I can get my house back in order after much chaos. The kids are working on the RV to get it ready to roll next weekend to Eagle Lake in Alberta. Let the Adventures begin. Talk soon, lots of love.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
I have not been on your blog for a week or so as I have been busy with our new grandson: Owen William Pearson was born May 4/07, weighing in at 7lbs 8oz (just like his daddy) Proud parents; Gary and Sarah are doing well and loving this little guy to pieces, as we are (Nana and Grampa Jim) Life just keeps getting more fun!
I have been enjoying your blogs of your adventures. Your little Dinara is absolutely beautiful - enjoy every minute! I'm so happy for the three of you.
love Jenny-Lee
