C and Growing Up

In a chat with my Dad tonight, he reminded Bells and I of a story we told them back in November 2009.

C had just had his 4th Birthday Party- a big Pirate Affair. For a few days after, he was in a bit of a funk.

Bells asked him in a gentle way why he was down.

His response was that he thought he'd be a Big Boy after his 4th birthday, and he didn't feel like one.

A lesson learned for his parents.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
