Dear Readers,

My wife, Anna and I just returned from a beautiful and wonderful event: The Christening of our

cousins, Maryann and Christopher's, baby boy, Gianni. Before the priest baptized him, the families had a chance to make the sign of the cross on Gianni's forehead. We snapped many photographs. We congratulated Gianni's parents and Godparents, Madalene and Mike, and then,

we went to a reception in honor of Gianni's Christening.

Did you know that the name Gianni comes from the Greek language, meaning "God is Good?"

Gianni, in English, is Johnny or John. I prefer the original name.

Gianni is truly blessed because he has family and friends who love him and vow to take care of him. I'm very touched.

Now, Maryann and Christopher have many responsibilities which they can do: feed Gianni,

diaper him, bathe him, put him to sleep, bring him to the doctor for a checkup, rock him in a rocking chair. These are only some, which brings me to the books, WHAT MOMS CAN'T DO and WHAT DADS CAN'T DO. Moms can't wait to wake up kids in the morning. Moms can't pick out the right clothes. Moms can't run fast.
