We did steaks with chimichurri & grilled provolone, too! Only 2 comments: 1) the cheese didn't grill as well on a George Foreman as the pictures I say online (but still tasted good)...2) your party will not be complete with out some Dulce de Leche sauce (we put ours on vanilla ice cream, and it was delicious!!)<br /><br />Also, my husband already suggested we incorporate Francis into the next child's name! (Actually, he suggested prior to the announcement that use whatever name was chosen!)<br />Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562306924797465454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-90275085926575678622013-03-16T18:29:13.591-04:002013-03-16T18:29:13.591-04:00Oh, hey, #7—I bet I know why the kids call that po...Oh, hey, #7—I bet I know why the kids call that pole the watering pole. I've been explaining downspouts and splashblocks to them, and maybe the pole looks like a downspout. And in The Eensy Weensy Spider, it's called a waterspout. So they have combined them.<br /><br />John Paul and I have fun saying "splashblock." You can do it with a lot of air and even some spit, so we need to say it right next to each other's faces.

We will also be praying for Francis our Pope and Francis our bishop for the first time this weekend...should be interesting. (I sometimes still expect to hear "John Paul our Pope, Walter our bishop..." because that's how it was for so long when I first became Catholic).Abbey @ Surviving Our Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294464284257098902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-37521939200367389392013-03-15T20:28:18.925-04:002013-03-15T20:28:18.925-04:00It always threw me for a loop when we prayed for o...It always threw me for a loop when we prayed for our Pope John Paul and Bishop John and THEN Pope John Paul & Bishop Paul... You guys AND Chicago (don't know who else) will have bishops with the same name as the pope!<br /><br />I bet there will be more Franciscos and Francescas than other versions - Francesca especially seems to be gaining in popularity.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-87204159731489902872013-03-15T20:23:09.522-04:002013-03-15T20:23:09.522-04:00I already have a Frances!

She usually sits with a family friend and pretends she doesn't know us while she follows along nicely at Mass. I'm excited to pray for Bishop Frances and Pope Frances every week. :)The Liebershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189417053958066874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-49219795693529034152013-03-15T19:52:49.098-04:002013-03-15T19:52:49.098-04:00I've met TONS of John Pauls - almost every lar...I've met TONS of John Pauls - almost every large Catholic family either has one or has one for a cousin.

But a whole bunch? Well, we never did see a *whole bunch* of John Pauls, did we? I wonder if there will be some Franceses, too. The female ones, that is. If their parents can spell. :-/ (No offense meant to you, Dwija. I know your name is not a misspelling.)<br /><br />I'm kind of excited for your cousin Francis, Aunt Rosamond's first, who is Francis only within the family. I think he goes by Frank. But maybe this would change his mind. Daddy used to know somebody whose first name was Ignatius and went by Iggy, but now he goes by his full first name.Melissa H-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674140433439195917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-16473224722218798142013-03-15T16:10:27.291-04:002013-03-15T16:10:27.291-04:00Elizabeth with the glasses and zucchetto- dying!Elizabeth with the glasses and zucchetto- dying!Dwija {House Unseen}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17887429052179249473noreply@blogger.com
