I think the theory of god parents means you are entrusting your children after your death to someone outside your own family correct ? I think our society leans more towards leaving them with a sibling(and spouse).... but would that still be considered "god parents"
Some friends of mine have godparents for their children. The godparents come and take the kids out for special treats on their birthdays or just for whatever. It seems to be a good relationship for all involved. The godparents were also able to help right after the parents of the kids were in a plane crash two months ago.

We hope to be pregnant next fall. And we have been thinking a lot. I like the idea. Its an honor to whomever we choose, another aunt or uncle for our children, and peace of mind if anything happens to us. I was always envious of my friends who had one while I was growing up. They always had a fun time visiting their godparents :)

Any reason why you are thinking about this? ;-)

I love the idea.
(By the way, that was me--your Aunt Julie. I signed in using some funky account, I guess.)
