Excitement at the pool


We all went swimming Sunday afternoon at a health club in Wimbledon.  A popular place- we bumped into Julian (famous from our walk) and Anna, and their kids Ruby and Casper.

It was the second trip in three days for Bells and the kids, so C showed me the way around the locker room and out to the pool.

C really enjoyed it.  And his swimming has come along really well.  He can doggy paddle about 15 feet, popping his head up every few seconds for air.  A big improvement from 2 weeks ago, even more so from back here when discovered independence and water. 

D is still in the “very excited to jump off the edge” stage, which she does over and over, farther and farther.

A Galician Food Experience

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.
