Me (Izaskun):
Well, I don't know, I think Lilly and James were polite people, maybe the
just sent a card announcing that their baby-boy Harry was born. I have some
French cousins I haven't seen or talked to for years, but they keep us
informed everytime they have a new child. It's just the sort of thing to be
done. Even if your not in good terms with your relatives.
