Alessandro was welcomed into the Church family on September 2, 2007. It was a fabulous day and we were joined by many family and friends as well as many far away in our hearts. Alessandro was baptized by Mother Garcia at the 9:00 am (our usual service) at Trinity. The Little Peanut was very good during the church service and he wore the very special "outfit" that his Nonna got for him (personalized with his initials by our friend Judy) as well as the silver cross that his Nonna wore when she was baptized (after we polished it).
The service was beautiful and was perfomed using the special water that our friends the Moran's brought back from the Holy Land from the river Jordan (WOW). After he was sealed our family paraded up and down the church to be welcomed by the entire church family. Mama only teared up once.
After the service we had a lovely brunch at Steamers Landing where we took turns admiring the baby, the gorgeous view of the water and the great weather.
A special thanks Alessandro's Godparents who came from Washington DC to be with us and made the day even more special. What a lucky and blessed baby he is -
The only hitch to the perfect day was the "hot mamma" shoes that were purchased for the ocassion (thanks to the urging of Aunt Tressa) were not made for walking. They made it to the brunch where they were replaced by the ever stylish flip flops.
All and all it was a perfect day and we are so touched by all of your generosity and love.
