OMG, We’re GodParents

Posted December 21, 2007 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under At Home

I managed to avoid any semblance of motherhood for 48 years — until December 21st that is, when Carol and Andrew asked Ed and I whether we would be Gavin’s godparents.

Ed immediately replied with an enthusiastic ‘YES!’ … while I stammered and stuttered as all the possible ramifications of what that meant went through my head. God forbid anything should ever happen to Gavin’s parents. Bad enough that he ended up with Auntie Ros and Uncle Ed, child corruption specialists — but godparenting, well, we’re going to have to escalate our endeavours.

Mu ha ha hah.

And as you can see, I wore my special red hat when we met Gavin for the first time. At 3.5 weeks old, he wasn’t focusing too well, but you should have seen his eyes open wide and stare at that hat!

Good plan, kiddo… keep your eyes wide open. You just never know what Auntie Ros will throw at you next.

Mu ha ha hah.

OK, I’m thrilled. You can see some more pictures of our first meeting with Gavin here.
