Dorothy and her first Fancy Dress Party

We attended the wedding last night of Bella's schoolmate Lucy. To accommodate everyone and their schedules, I wore the Baby Bjorn under my tux jacket to the church and then to the pre-dinner drinks.

She was very well behaved at church but flagged a bit later.

B and I then got a chance to dance unconstrained.

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).

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. And since the RAC is so close to The Mall, the flyover went right over our heads out in the garden. Spectacular! Being within the crowd in the Club Ro

Out to the theatre

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.
