Hi there. Well it has been a long while for our updates (we apologize) but I'm sure the new pictures are worth the wait. Dinara is growing like a weed and is beginning to talk. She now says hi, bye bye, boo (her dolls name), baby, and eye. She can identify on herself and others where eyes, ears, mouth and nose are. She can identify who Mickey is and bring us her Mickey doll when asked. She is able to tell us when she is hungry, thirsty and tired through sign language (she picked this up from her bff Maza). She is now 23.25 pounds and over 76 cm in height (I know I am mixing the metric and imperial systems but oh well). She had a good long visit with Auntie Keltie and Uncle Kyle, Nana and Opa last week (and part of this one with Nana and Opa). She also visited with Grama and Grampa in Edmonton last weekend. My folks (Grama and Grampa) hosted a welcome to the family bbq for her and some of my relatives joined us. It was awesome. Dinara got to meet many of the Watson clan and get fed a huge amount of junk food (not something we do often but it was nice for her to be spoiled). Grama and Mommy went shopping at the Walmart in Edmonton and bought Dinara a tonne of new clothes. Nana and Opa also bought a huge amount of clothes in Canmore and Ontario for her. She now does not need anymore new clothes (for the time being). At the bbq Dinara met her little cousin baby Laura. She kissed her lots and tried to force feed her Cheetos...no there are no pictures of this (at least with our camera...silly parents forgot to take it out of the car). If any of the people who were at the bbq read this...thank you for your donations to the baby house we will send those along with ours near Christmas and if you have any pics of the bbq could you send them to us?
What else has been happening? Well I love my job. I have learned a lot and I am doing a good job (according to my mentor). I went to an ichnology conference and got to catch up with Gabriela, Luis, Murray, Shah, JP, George, Lynn, Marilynn (spelling?), and met some new ichnologists too. It was lots of fun and I learned so much. I can't wait for the next ichnology conference which is going to be in Poland in August 2008. It will be awesome...field trips to the Holy Cross and Carpathian mountains! Dinara and Andrew will join me after the conference for a little vacation in Dracula's homeland. We might even get to go see his castle! Totally cool for former Goths. Well that's enough for now. Talk soon. Miss you all.
Oh...Congradulations to all the Pearsons who got married this summer (you know who you are) and welcome to the new Pearsons (wives and little ones).

Hello Pearson family of three!
Oh! So nice to see an update from you! Not going to lie here, but I check every day on my lunch break to see if you guys have written anything! Alas, on my last day of work, I was not disappointed! Nadine, so glad to hear you are enjoying your work and you got to go to an Ichno course- you go, pseudo-science girl! (I had to take a poke at that, Fina keeps telling me that she calls you a Pseudo-Scientist: we have to make her stop that!!!) I hope Andrew is enjoying his time as stay-at-home poppa, too :)
As for Dinara: HER CHEEKS! Her cheeks have NO end, and I love love love love them! She is still as adorable as the day you got her (possibly even more adorable if that's humanly possible). Glad to hear that she's growing like a weed and talking! She's absolutely cuuuuute!
Tons of love,
Aris :)
HI Canmore Pearsons!
So good to see new pics of Dinara--thanks for keeping us up to date on her progress--of course she is the cutest and smartest baby around!!
Sounds like you are all busy.
Grandma would be glad to hear that.
Have a good fall.
Love from the Tillbillies
