My First Godchild

This, folks, is my cousin, Tracey's son, Matthew.



I'm equally blessed to also be Matthew's Godmother. Quite a set of teeth on this little one, non?



Tracey is the daughter of my Nonna's sister, Zia Pierina (Aunt Pat, in English). From what my father and I can recall, Nonna and Nonno are Tracey's godparents. Tracey was only a little tyke when my parents were married in 1975: she was their flowergirl. Tracey was my confirmation sponsor. And the relationship has grown in this next generation...



He's a real doll and so is his charming, older sister, Joelle. This is the first time I've seen them in about two years, so much has changed, but they remain adorable and just lovely to be around.

Matthew turned to Tracey and whispered, "Can you ask my mother if she brought her bathin' suit?"

"GODmother!" exclaimed Tracey.

Poor lady ;)



Here he is..the little muffin.

Goodness, blessings abound, don't they? I'm one lucky woman.
