one of my oldest and dearest friends had a baby in september. little griffin was born on 9.12 at 9.12am. he obviously decided to make a numerical entrance. bless his little heart. i was so excited for his birth. i must have spent countless hours shopping for an entire wardrobe for the little guy's first six months. he has to be the best dressed child in michigan.
last week vanessa called me and asked me if i'd be willing to be griffin's godmother. i was over the moon. from the looks of it, my brother and i won't be having children for many, many years (if ever.) the honor of being griffin's godmother is truly overwhelming and exhilarating. this means that i will be a part of his life forever. both of griffin's parents are only children, so i got the term honorary aunt before he was even born. now it is even better because i will be his "spiritual advisor." thank goodness i started going to church again this year. i feel like i can at least wing it when we are in church.
the godmother gig has thrown me into a crocheting frenzy. i started a little sweater for him today and i am half way done with a matching hat. i can't really imagine his nascar loving father appreciating the antique christening gown my grandma offered up. it is quite frilly and has been worn by three generations of my family. so instead my little godson will have a homemade cotton outfit crocheted by yours truly.
wow. this is fun. i haven't told vanessa yet, but i do promise to never buy him the noisy toys. that just isn't nice. i obviously really love the little guy because i am willing to travel to michigan in december for his big day. that takes a whole lotta love. i don't do winter anymore!
okay. i must get back to the project. i probably have at least a good half an hour left in me.....
