Off-topic: say hello to Emma Naish
February 8, 2009
At 9:43 this morning, Darren’s wife Toni gave birth to their daughter Emma. I don’t know much more than that except that everyone is well. Join me in offering Darren, Toni and Emma your congratulations!
UPDATE: Not to detract at all from the momentous news at the Naish house, but we have a policy around here of not posting anything without a picture of a sauropod vertebra, so here’s the holotype of Dystylosaurus (= Supersaurus) with a pen for scale. I reckon if we flipped that thing over and put a blanket in the cotyle, it would make a roomy and entirely appropriate bassinet for baby Emma. Congratulations again to the Naishes, especially the as-yet-uncongratulated Wil, who now has a baby sister to torment.

Congratulations to Toni and Darren on the birth of their daughter. My best wishes for Emma’s health and happiness.
So when does her blog go up?

Congrats Darren on finding one of the few things compelling more interesting than paleontology in this world! :D

You meant ‘to mentor’, shurely?
I know it’s an easy typo to make –
the two concepts are often confused ;-)
