Lil'Bit




We have had a new member of the family since Ross came to live with us back
in November. She's fit in with the rest of the group... some how.
Her name is Lil'Bit.
Actually, Ross named her Liberty, but the name didn't stick.
He soon after started calling her Lil'Bit and we told him a story
about himself...
The story goes like this:
When I was pregnant with Ross, Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey came to be with us
for the birth. Grandma called him Lil'Bit.
Mainly because back then, we didn't know whether we were being blessed
with a she or a he. I still have a hand written note from Grandma telling
David(who was at a class on campus at NAU) that she had taken me to the
hospital to have Lil'Bit and to come as soon as he possibly could.
Ross must have liked that story, because he's been calling his cat that
ever since.
Actually, she's just like him. Loud, feisty, messy and cute.

very cute lil'bit! I have a lilbit story too. When James was very little and just beginning to speak, he would always say "lil'bit" to us to bedtime, meaning pull the covers up just a "little bit" under his chin. Brings back sweet memories...
