The Champernowne and Jone Arrivals!


There will be alot of blog-worthy activity this week, so to keep on top of it, here we go:

We had visitors over the weekend- some short-term, others long term.

Jackie and Allison Champernowne stayed with us for a few nights while they had tickets to Wimbledon tennis. Allison is next to Bells in the picture (and just finshed her first year at Durham) and Jackie is on the other end.

Jone arrived on Saturday afternoon. She's up from the Basque Region of Spain, and staying with us for the next 3 weeks (All is safe Idoia!).

Bells helped teach Sunday School today, hence the "crown" on D's head.

Idoia & Co.

We walked three miles along the beach and through the woods to reach this place.   Once there, we devoured barnacles, goat, fish, steak and razor clams. Washed down with coke, beer and regional white wine. And then grandma's chocolate cake, cheese and honey and coffees for the walk back.

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.
