for the little ones.


i'm heading to the east coast again on wednesday, i'll be there for work and than taking a break to see the family. while i'm there we'll be having a 'naming ceremony' for my neice and nephew. my brother and sister-in-law aren't religious but wanted to have something like a christening where god parents are named and there's a sort of passage for the kids. Instead of god parents they're having 'guide parents' who will mentor and guide them through life. I was thrilled they asked me to be my 4 year old nephew's guide parent. i know i'm biased, but i just think he's the smartest, most amazing kid ever and i'm quite certain he's going to do something with music when he's older. Julia is just about a month old now and i'm looking forward to meeting her again when i'm home. tonight i made them both a little something for the ceremony. these were both super quick and fun projects to make and i'm glad i have something handmade to give them on their big day.

I like the idea of guide parents- it's a lovely alternative to god parents.
