Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

A Very Important Quest


I wanted to give Seth a birthday present for his very special day of being born. I had a particular idea in mind so I had to wait until fall to give it to him. This present may only make sense to those who have played World of Warcraft or who enjoy Dungeons & Dragons or role playing games. The present was really for Jon.



I wanted to surprise Desi & Jon with Seth already in his outfit. We were at Jenny's Saturday morning & Jon was very accommodating & happened to come & offer me his baby to play with. Jake & I snuck Seth to our bedroom & changed his clothes while his unsuspecting parents were down stairs.




Seth & Jon opening their gift. I knit Seth this hat & fabric glued an exclamation mark to the front of the hat. In World of Warcraft, a character who has an exclamation mark above their head has a quest to give. Seth hats signifies that he has a quest to give Jon & Desi.

The quest is on Seth's shirt. If you double click on the pic you can sort of see the quest he was given. I hand stamped the quest on one word at a time. Here's what the shirt says.
