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.

The Queens Jubilee; Part 3

The last 24 hours of the Queens Jubilee proved as remarkable as the first 72. Monday evening, we let the kids stay up past their bedtime to watch part of the concert on TV.  C’s line during the singing- “I hope the Queen is alive when I am a grown-up.” Why? “Because I will write a great song.  That’s what I do when I build Lego.”  Which is true- he likes to sing while building. The Guards at Buckingham Palace. Tuesday, we all got dressed up in our best and went to The Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall for the festivities.  It was a special treat- usually kids under 13 aren’t allowed inside.  They made a special exception for the Jubilee Weekend, so we watched the carriage procession down The Mall on a Big Screen TV!  Actually the RAC is only 100 meters off The Mall, but the crowds and weather wouldn’t have been much fun.

The four of us went to the Old Vic for a performance of Just For One Day- a musical about Live Aid.  Impressive singing. Dinner before hand at an old school Italian restaurant.  And a tour of my favorite graffiti alleyway.
