My Godson


So about three years ago my aunt and uncle found out they were pregnant. VERY EXCITING NEWS! They had there first boy in June 2007. His name is Wyatt and he is an adorable boy everyone in our family fought over who got to hold him feed him and just play with him. He was loved by everyone. Sadly my uncle hurt his back shortly after Wyatt was born and could not lift anything over 10 LB. well Wyatt quickly became more than 10 lb. and my aunt is a nurse who works many different long hours. So they asked me to help i soon became a regular fixture in there house helping to clean and watch Wyatt. I loved it being able to be one of those few select people that when a baby starts to cry can make it stop juts by picking him up was a great feeling.
Now after Wyatt was born on his first Christmas the whole family got in even greater surprise my aunt and uncle were pregnant again. They had there second baby boy on June 16Th 2008 making the two boy no more than 9 days short of being a year apart. Well since now my uncles back was still hurting him and my aunt was pregnant neither of them could always lift Wyatt so i was still always with them like a now 5Th family member. One day while my uncle was working my aunt and i decided we wanted to go out for lunch instead of cook so we packed up Wyatt and went out it was then that she asked me to be godmother to the soon to come Porter since then i see both kids (now almost 2 and 3 years old) about once a week if not more. And i love them and watching them grow. The picture to the left is me holding porter at his baptism.

Knitting

Well i know what most people are thinking that's not really something that college kids do......i guess I'm not your average college kid then because i love to knit i think it is alot of fun. The first thing i ever made was a blanket for my godson it was blue and white to match his room and it has since become the blanket that he carries around everywhere and needs to go to sleep with. I love knitting so if anyone had a good pattern for anything please let me know : - )

GREECE

This coming summer i am going to Greece. I am going with a group called EFTOURS which is a group that does educational tours. I will be leaving from chicago on june 17th and flying to Rome. We will spend 10 days traveling through out Italy and Greece seeing pretty much everything. Then after the ten days we will go on a three day cruise. So in all i will be gone for 13 days. This is my first time out of the U.S. so i am looking for any tips on packing or flying or anything in general. I have flown before but not for this long of a flight so any advice is welcome.............
