Oh no, it's plural: godchildren!

Back in 1995, our good friends Lawrence and Charlotte asked us to be godparents to their new baby, Emma. We agreed. Then in 1997, they said we had done such a good job, why not be godparents to their new baby, Simon. Sure, why not? What better way to have access to young minds to bend them to evil purposes? And besides, they're both cute.

Simon

Fuzzy went up to the VanVactor-Lee house to babysit Emma while Simon was being born (16 Aug 97). Here are some pictures he took. We share god-parent duties on Simon with our good friend Amy Jo Swing. Find out more about Simon at Larry's Simon page.

Emma

Emma Katherine VanVactor-Lee was born on Wednesday, February 15, 1995, at 8:58 p.m. to Lawrence 'Larry' and Charlotte 'Heather' VanVactor-Lee. She weighed 8 lb., 5 oz. at birth. Robb Bruce is Emma's third godparent.

Her baptism was May 21, 1995. Friends and relations appeared from all over to make sure she got good and wet. Some pictures:

Here's a picture of Emma just standing around being cute at age 2 1/2, 16 Aug 1997.
