New baby girl?

I've just noticed (on the Goliath merchandising page)a mention that Goliath has a new baby girl!! Is this Mari and Jasper's new-born? Did I miss the announcement somewhere? If so, then many congratulations to the whole family (and if not, then what do Goliath actually mean?).

Beat me to it - just noticed the same thing.

If so, great news, loads of congrats, hope you're all happy, healthy (and able to get loads of sleep).

Is that what it means?
I thought it was an advert for a new line of merchandise.

No, it has to be a baby, a happy announcement, a bundle of joy, a "cadeau du ciel", a beautiful gift from life, another mouth to feed, a bunch of sleepless nights, a lot of diapers buying-putting-changing-throwing-recycling*... Merry "parentising" ! :D

*don't ask me what they do with used diapers, I don't think I really want to know.

If it's an April Fool, they could have done better

I think if it were an April Fools joke, they would have made it more obvious on the main website. I suspect this is for real. Do we know the actual date? If she was born on April 1st, what an appropriate birthday for Jasper and Mari's baby!

I suspect it was sometime just after we stopped getting Toad News each day. My deductive skills are tingling.

I got this email from Mari on 19th March


We had a little delivery on March 9th - a baby girl - so she will be coming to the Ffestival with us!
She's called Tabitha.
See you there
Mari & Jasper
