IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
CROATIA AND BIRTHDAY BLOG ENTRY TO BE DELAYED

The ParkersinPrague regret to announce that due to complications out of their control, the anticipated blog entries regarding their Croatian vacation and Ella's second birthday will be delayed. Since their digital camera was recently damaged beyond repair, they have been using a film camera (there are still several hundred in existence) to document recent events. Maylia recently picked up the negatives and CD for the first 2 or 3 rolls of film. Last night, as the Parkers sat down to peruse the photos and begin the inspirational process of blog writing they were met with quite a shock. Imagine their surprise when the first photo of the slideshow was not Ella splashing merrily in the Adriatic Sea, but an unknown naked woman climbing a tree...in black and white for artistic effect. As the photo shop is closed until Monday, future photo-containing blog entries must also be delayed until early next week.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

PS A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has sent their birthday wishes to Ella via email, skype, phone, mail, and blog!!!! She definitely enjoyed being the birthday girl and we were all three overwhelmed by the generousity of family and friends.

PPS An additional huge thank you to the Thompsons, Flynns, Kerwins, and Klein-Rosenthals for making sure that Maylia will not be uninformed or naked (climbing trees or otherwise) during her pregnancy and that the new baby will also be properly clothed. No small feat to mail off those big, heavy boxes!

Happy 2nd Ella!
Getting some film developed soon. Pictures to come.

Our last day in Split...and I discover I can blog via blackberry. Oh well, probably best I spend less time on the berry anyway.
Ella and May are napping. We're exhausted from the heat. Every day has been around 36c/98f. Seven days in a row of beach. Ella is in her glory.
Today we're resting inside, doing tours. Going home late tomorrow. I pity Maylia home alone with Ella without the "big bathtub" in sight.

Test...test.
