Azure celebrates her first communion

One of the best things i have ever explored is Eddie Bauer online. For the tall man (such as myself) who can't afford tailored, mature clothing, it's the next best thing.

which leads me to this: i donned these fresh pair of pants from EB this past Saturday for the third time with a new button-down shirt i bought at Daffy's, and headed to Queens to grab my mother. then we were off to my goddaughter's 1st Communion. albeit a little late.

i'll admit i was/am ambivalent about the whole affair as it is really a measure taken so that Azure can stay at her new Catholic elementary school. I went through the same process when i was in my elementary school, but it was a different time with less options when it came to private schools. and i think being from a Haitian family, Catholic schools were all my parents knew from Haiti.

In all honesty, the best parts of the day were driving my mother around in the minivan, seeing my cousin's family and friends who knew me as a kid and talking to them, and seeing all these kids enjoying themselves so that the reception felt less like a party for adults and more about Azure and others like her.
