You're not late, Afton. Welcome baby wishes are appropriate any time. 
Hubby took my car in and had the snow tires put on. I don't drive on studs anymore, but these snow tires are a softer rubber for better traction on ice and a deeper tread for snow. I have two sets of wheels for this car, and the snows are on the ugly stock wheels. I have my highway tires on the pretty custom wheels I bought, so I always miss my pretty wheels in the winter. But considering the gravel and mess they often have to drive through, it's probably best not to make my pretty wheels all dirty and gunky.
Back when my Lucy Cat was alive, I used to hold her cheek up against mine, look at hubby and ask, "Do we look alike?" He'd always say yes.
She was so patient with all the stuff I loved to do to her. I'd fold her ears over and say, "Puppy ears!" She'd just sit there and look at me. I'd wake her out of a dead sleep to clip her toenails and she'd just drowsily let me do my thing, as long as I was quick about it.
Our kids gave her a million nicknames and I made up a lot of different theme songs for her. Her favorite was one I sang to the tune of the "Cops" theme.
Can you tell I miss her? She died suddenly and unexpectedly in my arms in 2003 and I still miss her like crazy. She was the best kitty ever. It's even on her grave marker.
