Congratulations to a wonderful mommy! and happy birthday to the sweetest little Yindi.
Best wishes from your friend in Norway.
And of course congrats to the sweetest big sister Ivy and (I guess to a very proud father) Mick.
Take care.

Oh Em, I love the name Yindi. She is beautiful. I know Ivy is just beside herself!!! Oh, I must not forget you and Mick!!! Just such exciting news. I know one day she will thank you for her name. One year I went on a retreat and had no access to the outside world and at the end of the retreat we were treated with letters from our friends and family. In my daughter's letter one of the things she thanked me for was her beautiful name. A name "is" very important in my eyes. ps:I will email you her name and the story behind it. It is just as interesting as a work of "art" :-)
Hugs and Kisses to all.
