Hi there!

So, big news from Glacia and this time of the happy variety! Warren and I are overjoyed to announce that (due to time differences between Kaeleer and Fandom) we'll be expecting our first child in January of 2015! Forgive all the exclamation points, but we're very excited to finally be able to share the news with everyone important in our lives. Our only regret is that we're not able to tell everyone this in person, but we will be on-island Tuesday afternoon. If you can drop by and say hello, we'd love to see you!

Warmest regards,

Karla, Warren, and Lump

[Establishy, but certainly open for replies]

If you couldn't find decent condoms in Glacia, I would have mailed you some.

Stay put, I am coming to find you.

I know, right? Also, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! There's been a lot of mixed-emotion yelling going on since we found out.

Also, I am so jealous that your kingdom has an official email domain. I need to see if I can get something like that for Glacia. Even if Warren, Jono, Raven, and I will be the only ones that ever use it.

It took some doing, and I'm still the only one using it. Maybe when Sila and Ron return from Bordertown they'll get one. Even the Elven Ambassador uses gmail.

That kid of yours is gonna be one good lookin' little spawn! As well as one of the most spoiled if I know even the littelest bit about his 'rents friends.

Can I tell people here? They'd probably want to send along their congrats as well. Little Miss Folk Hero, you.

Sure! Now that the grand announcement is out, it's a telling free-for-all. Maybe after Lump is born, we'll make a trip your way to say hello.

If this baby is the little girl we've had visit for the past few years, then you're right on both counts. She'll be an adorable little cherub and spoiled as HELL. The spoiling has already begun and it's not even me! Julian's learning to knit booties already. BOOTIES. He still looks dopey anytime someone mentions the word baby. It's ridiculous!

Definitely low key. I am not bringing an infant to a bunch of pomp and circumstance. I don't like it and I'm capable of rational thought! Don't think for 10 seconds I will pause before popping out a tit to breast feed in front of all your stuffy courtiers, too. I'll do it and laaaaaaaaaaugh!

Leda burst into helpless giggles. Wiseguy and Sai had both made similar threats in the past.

RE: SQUEEEEE!

YAY I CAN FINALLY TELL PEOPLE WHEN DO YOU WANT A BABY SHOWER?

Also, Lump? Seriously? Really? That's what you're going with?

and finally,

Ask Jono about the zombies.

MWAH!

Auntie Dinah!
