Guardian Angels

Antonello and Novella very sweetly told their priest about how Andrea and I "took them under our wings," in a matter of speaking, when the twins were born, and explained that though I'm Jewish and Andrea chose never to be Confirmed, they really wanted us to somehow be part of the babies' baptism ceremony. The priest, in an unusually "Christian" manner, agreed to it - said we could "shadow" the two official godfathers and act as sort of "Guardian Angels" for Gaia (me) and Alice (Andrea).

We were both really touched by the sentiment and honored to be there for Gaia and Alice - who just get cuter and smilier every time we see them!

Andrea and I with Antonello with Gaia, Novella with Alice, Diego (Gaia's godfather and Antonello's brother), Davide (Alice's godfather and Novella's brother)
