Blimey annie Happy Easter indeed!
Christmas must be expensive
Congratulations Ab what happy news. Enjoy your 'visit' on facetime.
Such a big family and obviously a very busy auntie, I think I would need to have reminders in the diary!
Lovely, many congratulations! 
How kind, thank you, a new life is so joyous
Synonymous ,i confess , I have an appalling memory , I recall on my 50th birthday I was with my parents and writing a cheque, yes I asked what the date was 
, my younger daughter reminds me of all birthdays, she took over after my Mum died
I have had a chat with Elis , he didn't seem to understand Welsh 
Ab I expect he was taking it all in and keeping his counsel. It won't be long before he is racing around and talking 19 to the dozen. They don't stay small for long but there is nothing quite like a new little person to make you all gooey inside.
I don't remember where I left my memory, if I don't write things down I have had it! 
Congratulations to all your family. Welcome little Elis
Lovely happy day's ahead
Ah, that's great news. Congratulations, Great Auntie Annie.
Congratulations anniebach, it's always so exciting to have a new little one in the family. And what a huge family you have! I hope you'll get to see little Elis for real before too long. A toast 
Congratulations Anniebach, and I love his name. I'm sure he loved the sound of you speaking Welsh to him; I know I used to love listening to my MIL speaking and singing to my DC in Welsh. Happy, happy times ahead
Congratulations Annie
Again thank you all, I think you will like this, his big sister age 2 has decided she doesn't want her brother called Elis she wants Florence and so has spent the day referring to her new brother Florence which rather surprised the newsagent when she asked what was the name of the baby
Welcome to the world Elis!
and one g g nephew - yes, I have two gg nephews and one gg niece 
how did that happen?
My older DC are 'Devonshire Dumplings' too (well, tall and skinny now). Hope he thrives by the sea, how I miss it
Many congratulations Anniebach 
I would love to live by the sea Jamila, my husband and we're going to retire to the coat - Welsh coast needless to say . 4 g.g's wow, I think within the year I may have a third on the way, a nephew and his partner - he is the uncle of Ellis and Arabella- are broody.
Love the sun Lona
Andy, I cannot imagine how hard it must be to have family in another country - I do have a daughter in England, does that count?
How kind you all are sending such lovely thoughts and wishes X
