The purrs did work, didn't they :-)

I just *had* to go shopping for baby stuff today :-)

Waffles, Francis and Marble have contributed a soft toy kitten as a gift to the
new hoomin kitten :-)

Included in the various bits & bobs I got is a *gorgeous* long-sleeve top that
is all cats :-)

One must educate the youth of today to have a decent set of priorities :-)

Cheers, helen s (great aunt)

Really, a great aunt with kiwi connections - congratulations.
Hope the New Zealand wine was OK :)  

Bev who is surprised at the news

...> Congratulations,

Oh, yeah, and congratulations to your niece (the mother) and the father,
also.
Annie, now panting from happy dancing and blushing about the faux pas

I really did, didn't I :-)

I'll try.

Thanks.  Mum and baby are well, which is what's important.

Thank you. I think the wee one will be surrounded by purrs.... if I and her
mother have anything to do with it ;-)

Congratulations Helen!! I am blown away, I had no idea that you were
going to be a great aunt. Next time I think you should shout it to the
group so that we know about these things and can share in the joy. :;

Julie, Hobbes, Selena and Lacey

Life is full of surprises :-)
