(I know some people have already heard from Lumpkin, but it's good to spread the joy!)
Some of you will remember the lovely Lumpkin, who used to post here. We've had the pleasure of meeting Lumpkin and Mr Lumpkin on their visits to New Zealand.
The Lumpkins have a beautiful baby boy, born last month. All are well, and very happy.

So now we have Daddy Lumpkin and Mommy Lumpkin? Too cute for words. :D
I wonder if there's a chance to persuade a wee photo out of them of the new colt?

I always wondered what happened to them. Glad to hear they are well and have a beautiful baby.

Congrats to all the Lumpkins! :-)

Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream:
The genius and the plan thus inspired
Depart me and I, entering a room,
Find myself on the threshold, stand still
And wonder what I came to do there.

I love the Lumpkins - great folks - and I often wish Lumpkin still posted here. We had great times at the Oscars. I'm thrilled for their new Lumpkinette! Please pass on much love and congrats to them!

These are really fine people and I can't think of better candidates for parenthood. Wonderful news and thanks for sharing it.
No wonder all writers want to direct: one still has to put up with a load of nonsense, but even if wearing two hats (writer and director), there is one under which one is not called a thief and then raped.
