I imagine some of you have been missing seeing new photos. Sorry for the wait, but I kept forgetting to buy new batteries for the camera. Well, as noted in the comments, I did not metion anything about a short family visit. The Oakville Pearsons drove through the mountains on their trip out west. Nadine and I forgot to take any photos of the event so I waited until Uncle Gary and Aunt Karen posted photos.
This is Sara, Eric, Dinara and Audry together in Canmore.
They brought Dinara a new outfit and some sidewalk chalk...we sent them to continue the car trip with bags of candy. Playing with the kids did wear her out so here she is in the new outfit, exhausted.
The Folk Music Festival has come and gone from Canmore. There was a free childrens concert that we went to and we ran into a friend that we knew from our live gaming days in Edmonton. Eric and his kids were in town, visiting family and enjoying the music. The next day, we got to meet up with them on the music festival grounds. Eric and Star have 3 children and the two youngest of them are adopted. We had a great visit with them and Dinara thought the music was okay but the grounds are also the park that we visit so she did not get to run around as much as normal. I know she was not impressed with that. We also forgot the camera so no photos of us at the music fest.
Dinara is also feeding herself now...sometimes. I still cannot let her self feed some stuff because I am paranoid about the mess. This is my parents place so i get worried about that. We did let her eat cut up pizza on her own and this was the result.
So also the super heatwave with the temperature above 30C is now over. This led to a surprise cold morning.
The last bit of news is about Dinara's best freind. For the past several weeks, Dinara has had playdates with her freind Maeza (Mah-zah). She is a little girl of 15 months that was adopted from Ethiopia by a single mom. Her mother, Robyn, used the same agency that we did and they arrive back to Canada about the time that we left. Robyn has request no posting of photos but I will provide a tale or two. One time, while we were visiting them in their new yard, Robyn brought out some snack food for the girls. This led to Maeza feeding Dinara hummus with a spoon. There was hummus everywhere, including in Dinara's hair. Good thing it was bathnight. This is a photo of Dinara while playing in the park with her best freind. I think she looks a bit unhappy" (sarcastic tone)
And now, a special goodbye from Dinara

Glad to hear Dinara is still doing well.
I think you should be happy that she is a messy eater.
She is in the right family!
Has she tried PIE yet?
All Pearsons love pie.
I love the pictures you take.
Love from me
What total cuteness!!
That's exciting that she's begun to feed herself. This means that Mommy and Daddy might get to eat at the same time as the little one eats.
Have you thought of feeding her in the shower? That way you can just hose down the mess ... Ok, silly idea, but it might do well for the first time she tries pie.
*hugs* Miss you!

And now that we know Opa and (what's Sharon's title?) have been for a visit, we expected to see new photos. Hopefully we'll see some when the Seibts come home to Fairwinds.
And one day, hope to see Dinara in the little person form. Keep having fun. Hintons
