D in the sun, a water fight and our secret handshake

We had a beautifully sunny and warm weekend just past.  So warm that both Saturday and Sunday, all four of us had a big family waterfight in the backyard.  The big guns came out- a super soaker squirt gun.  And even the nuclear bomb of a bucketfull of water from the paddling pool.  It was a really good laugh.

Here's D in the sunshine.

She and I now have a bit of a secret handshake going.  We do a thumbs-up to each other and then press our thumbs together.

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.
