I promise

Gacie?

This is the first of what I hope will be a series of posts to my children and wife. In these promise posts I will make promises to my family. Important promises.

I promise not to skip summer this year.

I promise to rage like a little kid this summer.

I promise to watch out for my family.

I promise ride the roller coaster 3 times!

And for you adoring fans (both of you), I promise to try to remember to hold my phone upright instead of sideways while taking video of us not skipping summer.

Love,
Jay

Two of my favorite things...

O.K. So for those of you that don't know, I love bacon. There. I admitted it. I might be the only person you know that has ever made another person physically ill by eating bacon. That would be me eating, other person getting the urps.

That said, I believe that my addiction to bacon has been reduced to a more healthy appreciation at this point in my life. I also believe that with the Swine Flu pandemic, pigs are getting a bad wrap through no fault of their (tasty) own.

All of these things have come together to allow me to do my first blog food review.

I received this candy bar at a baby shower for some dear friends in a gift bag. Thanks guys that was really sweet of you. The baby should be here any time now and we are waiting to hear.

I love this bar. Mostly it is that salty, sweet thing that I crave, and since I love bacon, putting bacon, salt and chocolate together is super great. FOR ME. You not likely to enjoy it the same way I do. My wife and oldest daughter are on the no list.

Mom, I will be sending you one soon. You are going to love it.

I get my bacon thing from my Mom, who inherited it honestly from her father.

The bottom line, try it if you are a bacon aficionado. If you like mint in your chocolate, you might want to steer clear...

First Holy Communion

Memma took part in a service this morning to receive her First Communion.  The girls were nice enough to try to stop chewing the butter mints that they had found so I could take a picture of them next to the flowers.

Father Jeff took some time to bless the Rosary that Memma's God Parents gave her.
E only wanted to have a picture with her God Mother.  And Boss.
The kids were all lining up for a big class picture after Mass, so I quick, snapped a picture.  What a great day.  Congratulations kiddo.
