A sort-of Family Reunion

Last weekend, some of Bella's relatives- Jackie and Casper Jaarsma- were in London for a wedding.  They're Dutch, but live in Southern France now.  We took the opportunity to gather some of the family together for a bit of a reunion.  We ended up with 14 people crammed around a table made for 6!

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.
