I have to send congratulations and best wishes to my buddy Nate, his wife Lisa, and their beautiful daughter Raffaella.

Nate has been like a brother to me since 11th grade or so and his family has always shown me the utmost love and hospitality. When I called him in November to tell him we were pregnant, he said "We might be too." Now here we are, nine months later and we’re both blessed with happy, healthy families of our own. Congrats to Nate, Lisa, Raffe, Frank, Marylove, and the rest of the Guillard clan. I love you all and can’t wait for the Ali/Raffe meeting of the minds.
