My parents took me on my first official road trip to their home state of Ohio to meet my Grandmother and Grandfather Talan and Granddad Huesca. My Grammy Huesca was here in DC for my birth. My Grandmother Talan arranged for me to get baptized at Grace Lutheran Church, 13030 Madison Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio. Pastor George Hansell Jr. baptized me. This was a very special occasion because this is the exact same church where my daddy was baptized forty years ago this month. My Grandmother Talan spends a lot of her time doing volunteer work for the church. Some of her volunteer time is spent making special treats such as her famous apricot and cheese rolls and her nut rolls and kiffles. From what I hear, Grandmother Talan is a Martha Stewart type and her home-made sweets are quite tasty!
It was a private ceremony with about twenty guests (including me and my parents). Daddy's best friend from college, Rob Sievert-Wagner and his wife Amy were chosen to be my God Parents. My Grammy and Granddad Huesca came with my Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle Irene and Kenneth from Napoleon, along with my Aunt Antasia. Among other family members, my cousins Paul, Elizabetta, Elena and Carolina were also there. They were in Ohio visiting from Florence, Italy.
