A Flower Was Born Today

Her name is Lydia Rose.  Born on April 6th at 4:06p.  And...she's my very own goddaughter.  I've never had one before. I've also never been so surprised, flattered and honored all in the same moment. I'm a godmother! And I will strive to be the very best.

Here are the top five reasons why I already know Lydia is going to be the coolest (and cutest) godkid ever:

1.  She has family blood...good genes on both accounts.
2.  Her name is Lydia.
3.  Her mom and dad are pretty freakin' cool
4.  She was born on 4/6 at 4:06p.
5.  She's an Aries.

Now, if only I could hold her!  I am currently 2,200 miles away with no hope of seeing her for at least another few months.  It's torture.  I know she's already got Skype (via the 'rents) so we're going to have to rely on that for now.  Thank God for technology.

Welcome to the world, Lydia Rose.

Addendum (Note to Lyd):  From what I hear, you're already working on a pretty awesome soundtrack of your life.  According to your dad, the first song that played on your way home from the hospital was Raspberry Beret.  Only to be followed up by some Bob Segar while I was simultaneously rocking out (cross country) to Queens of the Stone Age.  One day you will understand just how perfect that was.
